Dysfunction
• Be aware of the possibility that
your hearing instrument may stop
working without notice. Keep this in
mind when you depend on warning
sounds (e.g. when you are in traffic).
The hearing instruments may stop
functioning, for instance if the bat-
teries have expired or if the tubing is
blocked by moisture or ear wax.
Active implants
• Caution must be taken with active
implants. In general, follow the
guidelines recommended by manu-
facturers of implantable defibrilla-
tors and pacemakers regarding use
with mobile phones and magnets.
• Your hearing instrument has a
wireless transmission. Please keep
the hearing instrument at least 6 in.
away from the implant, e.g. do not
carry it in a chest pocket.
• When the hearing instruments
are mounted on or in the ears, the
distance between the hearing
instruments and the implant is larger
than 6 in.
• Your Autophone magnet and Multi-
Tool (which has a built-in magnet)
should be kept more than 12 in. away
from the implant e.g. do not carry it
in a chest pocket.
Warnings
• If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of
your implantable device for informa-
tion about the risk of disturbance.
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing
instrument has insufficient energy
to cause fire in normal usage condi-
tions. The hearing instrument has
not been tested for compliance with
international standards concerning
explosive environments.
It is recommended not to use your
hearing instrument in areas where
there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and
electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument for
example during X-ray, CT/MR/PET
scanning electrotherapy or surgery
as your hearing instrument may be
damaged when exposed to strong
fields.
