INTENDED USE:
An air conduction hearing aid is
a wearable sound-amplifying device that is 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 may be found in
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°C (-40°F) to
+60°C (140°F) and 10%-95% rH.
