8 TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience any malfunctions when using your hearing
aids, this does not necessarily mean that they are faulty.
Therefore please first check your hearing aid to make sure that:
•
the hearing aid is switched ON (see
"Switching ON and OFF" Section 3.4),
•
the batteries are not weak or dead,
•
the volume control is not at the lowest setting
(increase the volume slightly if necessary),
•
the right program has been set
(change program if necessary),
•
the receiver unit / earwax protection system is not blocked.
If this does not eliminate the fault, consult your hearing
care professional, who will be pleased to help.
Note: Malfunctions!
Your devices may be subject to interference from other
electrical equipment despite their EMC-compatible design.
In this case move away from the source of interference.
Warning: Risk of suffocation!
Batteries, hearing aids and other small parts can be swallo-
wed. Keep such parts out of the reach of children under the
age of 36 months, those with mental disability and pets.
Should a battery, hearing aid or other small parts be acci-
dentally swallowed, please consult a doctor immediately.
Warning: Risk of injury!
In some very rare cases the dome may remain in the ear
canal on removal. Should this happen, please contact your
doctor or hearing care professional at once. Please do not
try to remove the dome yourself.
Warning: Damage to hearing!
The maximum volume of the tinnitus function lies in a range
that may lead to hearing loss according to OSHA regulati-
ons. The tinnitus combi instrument should not be used for
longer than eight (8) hours, at a sound pressure level (SPL)
of less than 90 dB SPL. At a higher sound pressure, the de-
vice should not be used for more than two (2) hours daily.
Under no circumstances should the tinnitus combi instru-
ment be used at a volume that is disagreeable to the user.
Warning: Risk of explosion!
Do not use hearing aids in environments where there is a
risk of explosion (e.g. in mines or industrial plants subject to
such risk).
