Product safety
These hearing aids are water resistant
and not waterproof. They are designed to
withstand normal activities and occasional
accidental exposure to extreme conditions.
Never immerse your hearing aids in water.
These hearing aids are not specifically
designed for extended periods of water
submersion on a continual basis, that is
worn in activities such as swimming or
bathing. Always remove your hearing aids
before these activities, as the hearing aids
contain sensitive electronic parts.
Never wash the microphone inputs. Doing
so could cause it to lose its special acoustic
features.
Protect your hearing aids from heat (never
leave near a window or in the car). Never
use a microwave or other heating devices to
dry your hearing aid. Ask your hearing care
professional about suitable drying methods.
Do not drop your hearing aids. Dropping onto
a hard surface can damage your hearing aids.
