You should familiarise yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire

content of this booklet before using your hearing instrument.

Use of hearing instruments

• Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your Hearing

Care Professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.

• Never allow others to wear your hearing instrument, as incorrect usage could cause

permanent damage to their hearing.

Choking Hazards

• Hearing instruments, their parts and batteries are not toys and should be kept out of

reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause injury

to themselves.

• Never replace the battery or adjust the controls of the hearing instrument in front of

infants, small children or people with learning diculties.

• Discard batteries carefully in a place where infants, small children or people with

learning diculties cannot reach them.

Warnings

10 11

• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine

carefully before swallowing any pills.

• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they

are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.

• Most hearing instruments can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery door upon

request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children, and people with

learning diculties.

If a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

Battery use

• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of low

quality may leak and cause bodily harm.

• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious injury.

• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and

cause serious injury.

Warnings

Dysfunction in hearing instruments

• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired

or if the sound outlet is blocked by moisture or ear wax. You should be aware of this

possibility, in particular when you are in trac or otherwise dependent on warning

sounds.

Active Implants

Caution must be taken with active implants. General advice is to follow the guidelines as

recommended by manufacturers of implantable debrillators and pacemakers regarding

use with mobile phones:

• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instrument more than 15 cm away

from the implant e.g., do not carry them in a breast pocket.

• If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your

implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance.

• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as a

pacemaker or debrillator, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket

or near the chest.

Warnings

Explosives

• The power source in your hearing instrument has insucient energy to cause re in

normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance

with international standards concerning explosive atmospheres. It is recommended

not to use your hearing instrument in areas where there is a danger of explosions.

X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy

• Remove your hearing instrument during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning electrotherapy or

surgery, as your hearing instrument may be damaged when exposed to strong elds.

Power instrument

• Special care should be exercised in selecting, tting and using a hearing instrument

where maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL (IEC 711), as there may

be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.

Possible side eects

• Hearing instruments may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax.

Warnings

• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may, in rare cases,

cause a skin irritation or another unusual condition.

Please see a doctor if these conditions occur.

Interference

• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to

the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing

instrument and other devices may occur, for example with some mobile phones,

citizens band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occurs, increase the distance

between the hearing instrument and the device.

Wax lter

• If the instrument sound outlet is equipped with a ProWax lter, follow the directions

specied in the section “Replacing ProWax lter”.

• Always use the same type of wax lter like that which was originally supplied with

the instrument.

If you are in any doubt about the use or replacement of wax lters, contact your Hearing

Care Professional.
