• Do not wear your aid in the shower or swim-
ming, or when using a hair dryer, hair spray, or
other sprays.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid
yourself.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during short-
wave diathermy, x-ray, MR scans, CT scans, or
similar radiation treatments. Some types of ra-
diation can damage your hearing aid. Other
types of radiation from, for example, room sur-
veillance equipment, burglar alarms, and cellu-
lar telephones, are weaker and will not damage
your hearing aid.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in
mines or other areas with explosive gases.
