INTENDED USE:
An air conduction hearing aid is
a wearable sound-amplifying device intended to
compensate for impaired hearing. Hearing aids are
available in multiple gain/output levels appropriate to
treat hearing losses ranging from mild to profound.
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply
with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, it is still
possible that you may experience interference caused
by power line disturbances, airport metal detectors,
electromagnetic fields from other medical devices, radio
signals and electrostatic discharges.
If you use other medical devices or wear implantable
medical devices such as defibrillators or pacemakers
and are concerned that your hearing instruments
might cause interference with your medical device,
please contact your physician or the manufacturer of
your medical device for information about the risk of
disturbance.
Your hearing instruments should not be worn during
an MRI procedure or in a hyperbaric chamber. Your
hearing instruments are not formally certified to operate
in explosive atmospheres such as coal mines or certain
chemical factories. Your hearing instruments are classified
as a Type B applied part under the IEC 60601-1 medical
device standard.
Your hearing instruments should be stored within the
temperature and humidity ranges of -40
o
C (-40
o
F) to
+60
o
C (140
o
F) and 10 to 95 percent relative humidity.
Your hearing instruments are designed to operate
beyond the range of temperatures comfortable to you,
from very cold up to 50
o
C (122
o
F).
Use on Aircrafts
The optional wireless capabilities that may
be featured in your hearing instruments
should not be used on an aircraft unless
specifically permitted by the flight
personnel. Your iOS device should be put
into
Airplane Mode
or turned off.
International Use
Be aware that operation during international
travel may cause interference to other
electronic devices, or other electronic
devices may cause interference to your
hearing instruments.
