Malfunction in hearing instruments
Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for •
instance if the batteries have expired or if the
tubing 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.
Interference
Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly •
tested for interference, according to the most
stringent international standards. But new
technical developments constantly bring new
products into society, and some may emit
electromagnetic radiation, leading to unforeseen
interference in hearing instruments. Examples
include induction cooking appliances, shop
alarm systems, mobile telephones, fax machines,
personal computer devices, X-rays, Computer
tomography etc.
Most hearing instruments can be supplied with •
a tamper-resistant battery compartment upon
request. This is strongly recommended for infants,
small children, and people with learning difficulties.
If a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Usage of hearing instruments
Hearing instruments 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 instru-
•
ment as incorrect/wrongful usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Battery use
Always use batteries recommended by your •
Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of low quality
may leak and cause bodily harm.
Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may
•
explode and cause serious injury.
Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There
•
is a risk that they will explode and cause serious
injury.
