1. Important information
Please read this information carefully before
using the hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will
not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Only regular use
of your hearing aid will help you to fully benefit from
it. The use of a hearing aid is only a part of hearing
rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by
auditory training and instruction in lipreading.
Hazard warnings
Use only hearing aids that have been specially
programmed for you by a hearing care
professional. Other hearing aids may be
ineffective and may, in certain cases, even
damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the hearing aid
that were not explicitly approved by the manu-
facturer are not permitted. Such changes may
damage your ear or the hearing aid.
Hearing aid batteries are toxic when swallowed.
Keep out of reach of children and pets. If
batteries are swallowed, consult your physician
immediately.
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.
In very rare cases, the dome/earpiece can
remain in the ear canal when the hearing aid
is removed from the ear. In the unlikely case
that any parts remain in the ear canal, it is
strongly recommended to see a physician for
safe removal.
Hearing aids in directional microphone mode
reduce background sounds. Please be aware
that warning signals or noises coming from
behind, e.g. cars, are partially or entirely
suppressed.
The hearing aid contains small parts which can
be swallowed by children. Keep the hearing
aids out of reach of children under three years
of age.
