Precautions
17
• Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting
from organic conditions. The use of hearing aids is only part of hearing rehabilitation. Auditory training, lip
reading instruction, and learning to interpret gesture cues may be required as well.
•
In most cases, infrequent use of hearing aid does not provide full benefit. Once you have become used to
wearing your hearing aid, wear your hearing aid all day every day.
• Your hearing aid uses the most modern components to provide the best possible sound quality in every listening
situation. However, communication devices such as digital cell phones can create interference (a buzzing
sound) in hearing aids. If you experience interference from a cell phone being used close by, you can minimize
this interference in a number of ways. Switch your hearing aid to another program, turn you head in a different
direction, or move away from the cell phone.
