The intended use of
hearing aids is to amplify
and transmit sound to the
ears and hereby
compensate for impaired
hearing. The hearing aids
(specially programmed for
each hearing loss) must
only be used by the
intended person. They
should not be used by any
other person as they could
damage hearing.
Changes or modifications
to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly
approved by Phonak are
not permitted. Such
changes may damage your
ear or the hearing aid.
Do not use the hearing
aids and charging
accessories in explosive
areas (mines or industrial
areas with danger of
explosions, oxygen rich
environments or areas
where flammable
anesthetics are handled) or
where electronic
equipment is prohibited.
If you feel pain in or
behind your ear, if it is
inflamed or if skin irritation
and accelerated
accumulations of earwax
occur, please check with
your hearing care
professional or physician.
16.1 Hazard warnings

In very rare cases, the
dome can remain in your
ear canal when removing
the hearing tube from the
ear. In the unlikely case
that the dome does get
stuck in your ear canal, it is
strongly recommended to
see a physician for safe
removal.
Hearing programs in the
directional microphone
mode reduce background
noises. Please be aware
that warning signals or
noises coming from
behind, e. g. cars, are
partially or entirely
suppressed.
This hearing aid is not for
children below 36 months.
It contains small parts that
can cause choking, if
swallowed by children.

children and mentally
challenged people or pets.
If swallowed, consult a
