WARNING
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid may involve
a slightly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infec-
tion can arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear.
We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid
and ear-set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be
ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing
aid and ear-set as required. If an infection occurs, you should
seek medical attention and contact your hearing care profes-
sional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine
or similar substances.
• Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with
explosive gases.
• Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays, MRIs,
CT or other medical treatments and scans. The emissions
from these procedures as well as from other types of radia-
tion, such as that in a microwave oven, can damage your hear-
ing aid. Radiation from, for example, room surveillance equip-
ment, burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will
not damage the hearing aid, but may create audible interfer-
ence.
