•
Never use your hearing aids in places with explosive gases such as mines, oil fields or similar unless
these areas are certified for hearing aid use. Using your hearing aids in places that are not certified for
hearing aid use can be dangerous.
•
Do not attempt to dry your hearing aids in an oven, microwave oven or other heating equipment. This
will cause them to melt and may cause burns to your skin.
•
External devices connected to the electrical input must be safe according to the requirements of IEC
60601-1, IEC 60065, EN/IEC 62368-1, or IEC 60950-1, as appropriate.

No modification of this device is allowed.
Warnings related to power hearing aids
•
A power hearing aid can produce very loud sound to compensate for a severe or profound hearing
loss. There is therefore a risk of further impairing the remaining hearing.
•
Your hearing aids have been customised to amplify soft and loud sounds according to your particular
needs. If the amplification seems too loud or you suspect the hearing aid is malfunctioning (e.g. you
hear distorted or unusual sound), contact your hearing care professional. A malfunctioning hearing aid
can damage your hearing.
•
In general, exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing. This could be loud music or loud
environments. You can best protect your hearing by reducing exposure to loud sound and
environments or by using hearing protection.
•
Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting
hearing aids with a maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132 dB SPL, measured in a 2 cc
acoustic coupler in accordance with IEC 60318-5:2006. The remaining hearing may risk further
impairment.
