The intended purpose of the hearing aids is to amplify sound
selectively and to transmit it to the ears of people with a
hearing disability (the hard of hearing) to compensate for
their hearing loss .
Use of the MICROSON Free ITC hearing aid is recommended
to compensate for mild to moderate hearing loss (mixed or
sensorineural). It is not recommended for children.
A hearing aid must be prescribed and adapted by a
professional audiologist, who will programme it and adjust
it specifically to the patient’s hearing loss and morphology
in a completely personalised way. Hence using hearing aids
not prescribed by a professional or adapted for another
person may damage your hearing.
