More info
If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of
your implantable device for information
about the risk of disturbance.
X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning, and
electrotherapy
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray,
CT/MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy,
surgery, etc. as your hearing aid may
be damaged when exposed to strong
fields.
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aid must never be exposed
to extreme heat, e.g. left inside a parked
car in the sun.
The hearing aid must not be dried in
microwave ovens or other ovens.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray,
perfume, aftershave lotion, sunscreen
lotion, and insect repellent can damage
the hearing aid. Always remove your
hearing aid before applying such prod-
ucts and allow time to dry before use.
Power instrument
Special care should be exercised in
selecting, fitting and using a hearing
aid whose maximum sound pressure
capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711),
as there may be risk of impairing the re-
maining hearing of the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your
hearing aid is a power instrument, see
the model overview.
General warnings
Possible side effects
Hearing aids and earpieces may cause
an accelerated accumulation of earwax.
The otherwise non-allergenic materials
used in hearing aids may in rare cases
lead to a skin irritation or other side
effects.
Please seek consultation with a
physician if these conditions occur.
Interference
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested for interference, in accordance
with the most stringent international
standards. However, interference be-
tween the hearing aid and other devices
(e.g. some mobile telephones, citizens
band systems, and shop alarm systems,
and other devices) may occur. If this oc-
curs, increase the distance between the
hearing aid and the interfering device.
Use on aircraft
Your hearing aids have Bluetooth. On
board an aircraft, flight mode must be
activated, unless Bluetooth is permitted
by the flight personnel.
Connection to external equipment
The safety of the hearing aid when
connected to external equipment (via
auxiliary input cable, via USB cable, or
directly), is determined by the external
equipment. When connected to external
equipment plugged into a wall outlet,
this equipment must comply with
IEC-60065, IEC-60950 or equivalent
safety standards.
