You must have your hearing checked by a doctor or qualified hearing care professional before using
the hearing amplifiers. The settings of the hearing amplifiers should only be adjusted by a trained
expert, for example an ENT specialist, an audiologist or a qualified hearing amplifier retailer.
•
In the event of an existing or previous ear problem, you should consult your doctor before using the
hearing amplifiers.
•
Use for patients suffering from an ear inflammation or infection is NOT permissible.
•
Do NOT use the hearing amplifiers if you are suffering from an inflammation of the middle ear or ear
canal.
•
If you feel unwell or experience pain when wearing the hearing amplifiers, stop using them im-

earwax when wearing the hearing amplifiers, stop using them immediately and contact your doctor.
•
Stop using the hearing amplifiers and seek medical attention if the following occurs:

R ash or eczema on areas of skin that come into contact with the hearing amplifiers. (The hearing
amplifiers are made from a material that is kind to the skin. In rare cases, however, allergic reactions
may occur that appear in the form of eczema.)
-
Use of the hearing amplifiers results in discharge from the ear and/or necessitates ear treatment.
-
Sudden, significant decrease in hearing ability.
•
If parts of the hearing amplifier become stuck in the ear, seek medical attention immediately. Do not
attempt to remove the parts yourself.

At first, set the volume to a low setting and increase it gradually once you have become accus-tomed
to the hearing amplifiers.
•
Do NOT set the volume button too high, as this may cause further damage to your hearing over an
extended period of time.
•
Do NOT lend your hearing amplifiers to others or use the hearing amplifiers of others, as there is a risk
of hearing damage and infection.
•
Do NOT pass on your hearing amplifiers for use by other persons. The use of a hearing amplifier that
was designed for someone else may cause hearing damage.
•
The hearing amplifiers are NOT suitable for use by small children below the age of 36 months.
•
It is particularly difficult to diagnose hearing problems in children. Children should only be pro-vided

injury and choking.
