Active implants
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterized for human
health according to international
standards for human exposure (Specific
Absorption Ratio - SAR), induced
electromagnetic power and voltages
into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
internationally accepted safety limits
for SAR, induced electromagnetic
power and voltages into the human
body defined in the standards for
human health and coexistence with
active medical implants such as
pacemakers and heart defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer
of your implantable device for
information about the risk of
disturbance.
The Autophone magnet or MultiTool
(which has a built-in magnet) should
be kept more than 30 centimeters
(1 foot) away from the implant, e.g. do
not carry it in your breast pocket.
Follow the guidelines recommended
by the manufacturers of implantable
defibrillators and pacemakers
regarding their use with magnets.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI)
on one ear and a hearing aid on the
other ear, make sure to always keep your
CI at least a 1 centimeters (0,4 inches)
distance from your hearing aid. The
magnetic field from CI sound processors,
coils and magnets may permanently
damage the speaker unit in your hearing
aid. Never place the devices close
together on a table e.g. when cleaning
or changing batteries. Do not carry the
CI and the hearing aid together in the
same box.
