Possible side effects

The hearing aid or earmold is a custom-made product. If 
you are experiencing discomfort, see your audiologist or 
hearing instrument dispenser immediately for modification 
of the hearing instrument or earmold at the point of 
irritation.A hearing instrument or earmold may cause an 
accelerated accumulation of cerumen (earwax). Also in 
rare cases, the otherwise non-allergenic material may cause 
a discharge from the ear, allergic reac-tion, or any other 
unusual condition. Please seek immediate consultation with 
a physician if these conditions occur.

Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for medical evaluation, 
a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an 
audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation, since hearing 
loss may cause problems in language development, 
educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist 
is qualified by training and experience to assist in the 
evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. 
If the user is an infant, small child or person of mental 
incapacity, it is recommended that the hearing instrument 
be modified with a tamper-resistant battery compartment.
