Hearing Loss Symptoms
If you experience any of these hearing loss symptoms, stop using the Trainer and have
your hearing checked by an audiologist:
•
Hearing loss
•
Ringing in the ears
•
Your speech sounds quiet or muffled to you
•
Sounds seem flatter or duller than usual
Getting your hearing checked regularly by an audiologist is a good way to prevent and
detect hearing loss.
Prevent Infections from Trainer Headphones
Using earphones for your Trainer that are dirty can lead to ear infections. Clean your
earphones regularly with isopropyl alcohol or another antiseptic. If you find that the
earphones are irritating your ears or the skin around them, stop use immediately.
This might indicate a developing or future infection.
Prevent Seizures, Blackouts, and Eye Strain
If you have ever had a seizure or blackout, or if these symptoms exist in your family’s
medical history, please speak with a doctor before using the video functions on the Trainer
device (if available). Stop using the Trainer immediately if you experience eye twitches,
muscle twitches, convulsion, disorientation, or uncontrollable movements. When using the
video function on the Trainer device (if available), take frequent breaks and avoid prolonged
use to protect your eyes from damage or strain.
Protecting the Trainer Device
•
When carrying the Trainer, make sure you do not drop, bend, or crush the device.
A protective carrying case, included with the device, may help to protect the surface
from scratches and damage.
