Dysfunction in hearing instruments
Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for •
instance if the batteries have expired or if the
receiver/loudspeaker is blocked by moisture or
earwax. You should be aware of this possibility, in
particular when you are in traffic or otherwise
dependent on warning sounds.
Interference
Your hearing instruments have been thoroughly •
tested for interference, according to the most
stringent international standards. But new techni-
cal developments constantly bring new products
into society, and some may emit electromagnetic
radiation, leading to unforeseen interference in
hearing devices. Examples include induction
cooking appliances, shop alarm systems, mobile
telephones, fax machines, personal computer
devices, X-rays, Computer tomography, etc.
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply •
with the most stringent Standards of International
Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, your
hearing instrument may cause interference with
other medical devices. Such interference can also
be caused by radio signals, power line disturbanc-
es, airport metal detectors, electromagnetic fields
from other medical devcies and eletrostatic dis-
charges.
Some Oticon hearing instruments can be supplied •
with a tamper-resistant battery compartment upon
request. This is strongly recommended for infants,
small children, and people with learning difficul-
ties.
If a battery or hearing device is swallowed, see a
doctor immediately.
Misusage
Hearing instruments should be used only as •
directed and adjusted by your Hearing Care
Professional. Misuse could result in sudden and
permanent hearing loss.
Never allow others to wear your hearing instru-•
ments as incorrect/wrongful usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
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.
