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 earwax. You should be aware of this possibility,
in particular when you are in traffic or otherwise dependent on warning sounds.
Active implants
• Oticon shows caution and advise to follow the guideline as recommended by manufac-
turers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers regarding use of mobile phones.
• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instruments 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 informa-
tion about the risk of disturbance.
• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as
pacemakers or defibrillators, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket or
near the chest.
Explosives
• The power source in your hearing instrument has insufficient energy to cause fire in
normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended not
to use your hearing instruments in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy
• Remove your hearing instrument for example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning
electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when exposed
to strong fields.
Possible side effects
• Hearing instruments or ear moulds may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare cases
cause a skin irritation or any other unusual condition. Please, seek consultation with a
physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to
the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing
instrument and other devices may occur, for example for some mobile telephones,
citizens band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occurs increase the distance
between the hearing instrument and the device.
