Warnings

• Hearing instruments should only be used as directed

by your physician or hearing healthcare professional.

• Hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing

and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions.

• Do not use your hearing instruments in explosion

hazard areas.

• Allergic reactions to hearing instruments are unlikely.

However, if you experience itching, redness, soreness,
inflammation or a burning sensation in or around
your ears, inform your hearing healthcare
professional and contact your physician.

• In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear

canal after the removal of the hearing instrument,
contact a physician immediately.

• Remove your hearing instruments for CT and MRI

scans or for other electromagnetic procedures.

• Special care should be exercised in wearing hearing

instruments when maximum sound pressure levels
exceed 132 decibels. There may be a risk of impairing
your remaining hearing. Speak with your hearing
healthcare professional to ensure the maximum
output of your hearing instruments is suitable for
your particular hearing loss.
