General Precautions 

• Consult a physician if you find a foreign object in your

ear canal, if you experience skin irritation or if excessive
ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instru-
ment.

• Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR or CT

scanners, may damage the hearing instrument. Therefore,
do not wear the hearing instrument during these or other
corresponding scanning procedures. Other types of
radiation (burglary alarms, room surveillance systems,
radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc) contain less
energy and will not damage the hearing instrument. They
could however momentarily affect the sound quality or
create strange sounds from the hearing  instruments.

• Warning: Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines

or other explosive areas, unless those areas are certified for
hearing instrument use.

• Warning: External devices connected to the electrical

input must be safe according to the requirements of
EN 60601-1-1 or EN 60065 as appropriate.

• Warning to the hearing care professional: Special care

should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing
instrument whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds
132 dB SPL, as measured with an IEC 60711 occluded
ear simulator, because there may be risk of impairing the
remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
