canal, if you experience skin irritation or if excessive ear
wax accumulates with the use of the hearing instrument.
• Dierent types of radiation, e.g. from NMR, MRI or CT
scanners, may damage the hearing instrument. There-
fore, do not wear the hearing instrument during these or
other corresponding scanning procedures. Other types
of radi-ation (burglar alarms, room surveillance systems,
radio equipment, mobile telephones, etc) contain less
energy and will not damage the hearing instrument. They
could however momentarily aect the sound quality or
create strange sounds from the hearing instruments.

other explosive areas, unless those areas are certied for
hearing instrument use.

Special care should be exercised in selecting and tting
hearing instrument(s) whose maximum sound pressure
level exceeds 132 dB SPL with an IEC 60711: 1981
occluded ear simulator, because there may be a risk of
impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument
user.
