Dysfunction in hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or
if the speaker is blocked by moisture or ear wax. You should be aware of this possibility,
in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.
Active implants
Caution must be taken with active implants. As general advice, follow the guidelines as
recommended by manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding
use with cell phones:
• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instrument more than 15 cm away
from the implant, e.g., do not carry them in a breast pocket.
• If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance.
• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket
or near the chest.
