Precautions
The use of hearing aids is only part of
hearing rehabilitation; auditory training
and lip reading instruction may be required
as well.
In most cases, infrequent use of hearing
aids does not provide full benefit. Once you
have become accustomed to your hearing
aids, wear your hearing aids everyday all day.
Your hearing aids use the most modern
components to provide the best possible
sound quality in every listening situation.
However, communication devices such
as digital mobile phones can create
interference (a buzzing sound) in hearing
aids. If you experience interference from a
mobile phone being used close by, you can
minimize this interference in a number of
ways. Switch your hearing aids to another
program, turn your head in a different
direction or locate the mobile phone and
move away from it.
Protect hearing aids from heat (never
leave near a window or in the car). Never
use a microwave or other heating devices
to dry your hearing aids (due to risk of
fire or explosion). Ask your hearing care
professional about suitable drying methods.
The dome should be changed every three
months or when it becomes stiff or brittle.
This is to prevent the dome from detaching
from the tube spout during insertion into or
removal from the ear.
Do not drop your hearing aids. Dropping
onto a hard surface can damage your
hearing aids.
Labeling
The serial number and year of manufacture are
located under the colored hearing aid marking.
