The hearing aid is made of modern non-aller-
genic materials. Still, in rare cases skin irrita-
tion can occur. If you notice skin irritation in or
around your ear or ear canal, contact your hear-
ing care professional.
Please be aware that the use of any type of
hearing aid/earmold may involve a slightly in-
creased risk of infection in the ear canal. An in-
fection can arise as a result of inadequate ven-
tilation of the ear. Therefore, we recommend
that you take out your hearing aid/earmold at
night to allow the ear canal to be ventilated.
Make sure that you clean and inspect your
hearing aid/earmold as required. If an infection
occurs, you should disinfect your hearing aid/
earmold and seek medical advice. Contact your
hearing care professional for further advice on
methods of disinfection. Do not under any cir-
cumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar
substances to clean your hearing aid/earmold.

Accessories
Audio input
Your AIKIA hearing aid can be furnished with an au-
dio shoe. This allows direct connection to different
kinds of accessories (FM and CROS/Bi-CROS sys-
tems), as well as external audio equipment (radio,
TV, etc.). In this way the sound from, for example, a
radio or a speaker provided with an FM microphone
can be sent directly into your hearing aid.
With an audio shoe connected to the hearing aid,
one or more of your standard listening programs
are replaced by dedicated audio programs.
In the form on the next page, your hearing care
professional can make a note of the audio pro-
grams you have access to and where they are lo-
cated. When you attach the audio shoe, the hear-
ing aid automatically switches to an audio program
(see page ). If you then wish to switch to one of
the other programs, you must use the program
button on the hearing aid. As soon as you remove
the audio shoe, the usual program order is re-es-
tablished (see page 0).
