Warning: Risk of injury!
Hearing aids are adjusted to the individual hearing loss
of each wearer and should therefore only be used by this
person.
If the hearing aid is worn by other persons, this may harm
their hearing.
Warning: Risk of injury!
Please only use genuine consumables specified by the manu-
facturer (dome, tubing, etc.) and accessories.
Unauthorised changes or modifications that have not been
explicitly approved may in the worst-case scenario result in
injury.
Warning: Interference with active and inactive
implants!
If you have an active or inactive implant (e.g. defibrillator,
pacemaker), follow the implant manufacturer's instructions
regarding the use of mobile devices. In the event of malfunc-
tions, stop using your hearing aid and contact your doctor or
the implant manufacturer.
If you have an active brain implant, ask your doctor or the
implant manufacturer for a risk analysis.
Warning: Risk of injury!
Always wear the tube with the earpiece and check that the
earpiece is securely positioned on the tube.
Warning: Radio communications in rooms
Before making a connection between radio communica-
tions and the hearing aids, you should check whether use of
radio communications is restricted in the room/environ-
ment.
Note: Contraindications
The use of your hearing aids is inadvisable in very severe
cases of psychotic disorders, intellectual disability, chronic
suppuration of the middle ear, wound healing disorders,
skin diseases affecting the ear and malformation of the ear
canal. If in doubt, consult an ENT doctor before using your
hearing aids further.
Note: Damage to hearing aid!
Hearing aids are susceptible to impact, so avoid any hard
knocks (e.g. by dropping them).
Note: Modifications to the device!
No modifications should be made to the hearing aids unless
performed directly by the manufacturer.
Note: Damage to hearing aid!
To avoid damage to your hearing aids, please do not wear
them in the following situations:
•
when swimming, in the shower or bath
