General warnings
1. Consult a hearing care professional if you discover a foreign object in your ear canal, if you
experience skin irritation, or if excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing
instrument.
2. Different types of radiation, from e.g. NMR, MRI, or CT scanners, may damage hearing in-
struments. It is recommended not to wear hearing instruments during these or other similar
procedures. Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems,
radio equipment, mobile telephones, contain less energy and will not damage hearing
instruments. However, they have the potential to momentarily affect the sound quality or
temporarily create strange sounds from hearing instruments.
3. Do not wear hearing instruments in mines, oil fields, or other explosive areas unless those
areas are certified for hearing instrument use.
4. Do not allow others to use your hearing instruments. This may cause damage to the he-
aring instruments or to the hearing of the other individual.
5. Due to chocking hazards, hearing instrument usage by children or mentally challenged
individuals should be supervised at all times.
6. Hearing instruments should be used only as prescribed by your hearing care professional.
Incorrect use may result in hearing loss.
7. Warning to hearing care professionals: Special care should be exercised in selecting and
fitting hearing instruments with maximum sound pressure level that exceeds 132dB SPL
with an IEC 50711:9181 occluded ear simulator. There may be a risk of impairment of the
remaining hearing.
