 WARNING 

•  Regular use of a de-humidifier is  recommended to help avoid mal-

function of the hearing aid .

•  Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with explo-

sive gases .

• 

Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays, MRIs, CT or 
other medical treatments and scans .

 The emissions from these pro-

cedures as well as from other types of radiation, such as that in a 
microwave oven, can damage your hearing aid and the hearing aid 
can become very hot . Radiation from, for example, room surveillance 
equipment, burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will not 
damage the hearing aid, but may create audible interference .
