More info
For your personal safety and to ensure
correct usage, you should familiarize
yourself fully with the following general
warnings before using your hearing aid.
Consult your hearing care professional if
you experience unexpected operations
or serious incidents with your hearing
aid during use or because of its use. Your
hearing care professional will support
you with issue handling and, if relevant,
reporting to the manufacturer and/or the
national authorities.
Please note that a hearing aid will not
restore normal hearing and will not prevent
or improve a hearing impairment resulting
from organic conditions. Hearing aid is only
a part of hearing habilitation and may need
to be supplemented by auditory training
and instruction in lipreading. Furthermore,
note that in most cases, infrequent use of a
hearing aid does not permit a user to attain
full benefit from it.
This hearing aid is supported by a non-
removable rechargeable lithium-ion
battery cell. Please ensure to charge
the hearing aid and familiarise yourself
with the safety and handling information
related to rechargeable hearing aids.
Do not try to get access to the battery
inserted in the hearing instrument. The
battery must only be replaced by your
hearing care professional.
Only charge the hearing aid with a
designated charger. Other chargers risk
destroying the hearing aid and battery.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids should be used only as
directed and adjusted by your hearing care
professional. Misuse can result in sudden
and permanent hearing loss.
Never allow others to wear your hearing
aid, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards and risk of swallowing
small parts
Hearing aids and their parts should be kept
out of reach of children and anyone who
might swallow these items or otherwise
cause injury to themselves.
If a hearing aid or small part is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Explosives
The hearing aid is safe to use under
normal usage conditions. The hearing
aid has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning
explosive environments.
Therefore, do not use the hearing aid in
environments with danger of explosions
e.g. mines, oxygen rich environments or
areas where flammable anaesthetics are
handled.
Fatality hazards and risk of swallowing
lithium-ion batteries or placing them in
the ear or nose
Never swallow lithium-ion batteries nor
place them in the ear or the nose as this
may lead to serious injury or death in as
little as two hours. This can be due to
chemical burns, which can permanently
damage the nose or ear or potentially lead
to perforation of the inner organs. If a
lithium-ion battery is swallowed or placed
in the ear or nose, seek emergency medical
treatment immediately.
