WARNING to Hearing Aid Dispenser,
Outputs over 132 d8 SPL:
You should exercise special care in
selecting and fitting a hearing aid with
a maximum output that exceeds 132 dB
SPL because it may impair the remaining
hearing of the hearing aid user.
Caution: This is not hearing protection.
You should remove this device if you
experience overly loud sounds, whether
short or long-lasting. If you’re in a loud
place, you should use the right kind of
hearing protection instead of wearing
this device. In general, if you would use
ear plugs in a loud place, you should
remove this device and use ear plugs.
Caution: The sound output should not
be uncomfortable or painful.
You should turn down the volume or
remove the device if the sound output
is uncomfortably loud or painful. If you
consistently need to turn the volume
down, you may need to further adjust
your device.
Caution: You might need medical help
if a piece gets stuck in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the
eartip, gets stuck in your ear, and you
can’t easily remove it with your fingers,
get medical help as soon as you can. You
should not try to use tweezers or cotton
swabs because they can push the part
farther into your ear, injuring your ear-
drum or ear canal, possibly seriously.
Note: What you might expect when you
start using a hearing aid
A hearing aid can benefit many people
with hearing loss. However, you should
know it will not restore normal hearing,
and you may still have some difficulty
hearing over noise. Further, a hearing
aid will not prevent or improve a medical
condition that causes hearing loss.
