INTENDED USE
Clearity manufactured hearing systems are air-conduction hearing aids
intended as amplification devices to compensate for impaired hearing of
adults.
HEARING-RELATED SAFETY APPLICATIONS
Although your hearing instrument is warranted, reflecting its design
quality and reliability, fail-safe reliability is not implied. The hearing
instrument should not be relied upon as a primary safety system in
any application where injury or loss of life may result from failure of
the hearing device to properly operate. No redundancy or back-up is
available in either the power source or the individual and collective circuit
functions of the instrument.
WARNING: Although your hearing system has been designed to comply
with the most stringent international electromagnetic compatibility
standards, the possibility cannot be excluded that it may cause
interference with other equipment, such as medical devices. It is also
possible that unforeseen interference may occur in the hearing aid due
to electromagnetic radiation from other products such as alarm systems,
room surveillance equipment, and mobile phones.

may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is
purchased. Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you
a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically

The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser,
as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation. The audiologist or hearing
