Active implants
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterised for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specific Absorption Ratio
- SAR), induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
internationally accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined
in the standards for human health
and coexistence with active medical
implants such as pacemakers and heart
defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information about
the risk of disturbance.
The Autophone magnet or MultiTool (which
has a built-in magnet) should be kept more
than 30 centimetres (1 foot) away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it in your breast
pocket.
Follow the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers regarding their use with
magnets.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI at least
a 1 centimetre (0,4 inches) distance from
your hearing aid. The magnetic field from
CI sound processors, coils and magnets
may permanently damage the speaker
unit in your hearing aid. Never place the
devices close together on a table e.g. when
cleaning or changing batteries. Do not
carry the CI and the hearing aid together in
the same box.
