USER GUIDE ITE 33 Usage of Hearing Aids ·· Hearing aids should be used only as directed and adjusted by your hearing care professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
SONIC 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 and never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that the batteries will explode. Dysfunction ·· Be aware of the possibility that your hearing aid may stop working without notice. Keep this in mind when you depend on warning sounds (e.g., when you are in traffic).

In general, please follow the guidelines recommended by the manufacturer of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers on use with magnets.
SONIC X-ray, CT, MR, PET Scanning and Electrotherapy ·· Remove your hearing aid for example during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing aid may be damaged when exposed to strong fields Avoiding Heat and Chemicals ·· Your hearing aid must never be exposed to extreme heat e.g.
USER GUIDE ITE 37 For information of whether your instrument is a power instrument, please ask your hearing care professional. Possible Side Effects ·· Hearing aids, moulds or domes may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax ·· The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing aids may in rare cases cause a skin irritation or other side effects Please seek consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.
SONIC Connection to External Equipment ·· The safety of the use of the hearing aid with an auxiliary input cable is determined by the external signal source. When the input cable is connected to equipment plugged into a wall outlet, this equipment must comply with IEC 60601, IEC 60065 or equivalent safety standards. Safety Information ·· Hearing aids should be adjusted by a trained hearing care professional ·· Never insert cleaning tools into the sound outlet or microphone inlet.
USER GUIDE ITE 39 International Warranty Your hearing aid is covered by an international limited warranty issued by the manufacturer from the date of delivery.

SONIC Date: Model: Warranty period: Model L: Model R: Serial no.: Serial no.: Battery size: Battery size: Hearing Centre ✼ Do not attempt to repair your hearing aid yourself.
USER GUIDE ITE 41 Mobile Phone Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound in their hearing aid when they are using mobile phones, indicating that the mobile phone and hearing aid may not be compatible. The ANSI C63.19 standard determines the prediction of compatibility between a specific hearing aid and a mobile phone by adding the numerical value of the rating for the hearing aid immunity to the numerical value of the rating for the mobile phone emissions.
SONIC For a hearing aid with both acoustic coupling and telecoil coupling with a rating of M4/T2 and with a telephone rating of M3/T3, the combined rating is 7 (M4 + M3) for the acoustic coupling and 5 (T2 + T3) for the telecoil coupling. According to the guideline given above, both types of coupling will thereby be acceptable, with the acoustic coupling indicating excellent performance and the telecoil coupling indicating normal use.
USER GUIDE ITE 43 Technical Information The hearing aid contains a radio transmitter using short range magnetic induction technology working at 3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the transmitter is < –42 dBμA/m @ 10m. The emission power from the radio system is well below international emission limits for human exposure. For comparison, the radiation of the hearing aid is lower than unintended electromagnetic radiation from for example halogen lamps, computer monitors, dishwashers, etc.
