Repairs
If your ReSound hearing instrument malfunctions, it must be
repaired by a qualified technician. Do not attempt to open the
case of the hearing instrument since this would invalidate the
warranty. If your ReSound hearing instrument requires service,
please contact your hearing care professional for assistance.
General Precautions
• Consult a physician if you find a foreign object in your ear
canal, if you experience skin irritation or if excessive earwax
accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
• Different types of radiation, e.g. from NMR, MRI or CT scan-
ners, may damage the hearing instrument. Therefore, do not
wear the hearing instrument during these or other correspon-
ding scanning procedures. Other types of radiation (burglar
alarms, room surveillance systems, radio equipment, mobile
telephones, etc) contain less energy and will not damage the
hearing instrument. They could however momentarily affect
the sound quality or create strange sounds from the hearing
instruments.
• Warning: Do not wear the hearing instrument in mines or
other explosive areas, unless those areas are certified for
hearing instrument use.
• Warning to hearing care practitioners
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting hear-
ing instrument(s) whose maximum sound pressure level
exceeds 132 dB SPL with an IEC 60711: 1981 occluded ear
simulator, because there may be a risk of impairing the
remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.
