• The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray,
perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan lotion
and insect repellent can damage the hearing
aid. Always remove your hearing aid before
applying such products and allow time to
dry before use.
Power aid
• Special care should be exercised in
selecting, fitting and using a hearing aid
where maximum sound pressure capability
exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711), as there may
be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of
the hearing aid user.
For information on whether your hearing
aid is a power aid, ask your hearing care
professional.
Possible side effects
• Hearing aids and earpieces may cause an
accelerated accumulation of ear wax.
• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used
in hearing aids may in rare cases cause a
skin irritation or other side effects.
Please seek consultation with a physician if
these conditions occur.
