good adviCe and warnings
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swal-
lowed or used improperly. Swallowing or improper
use can result in severe injury or even fatalities.
In case of ingestion, contact a physician immediately.
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and
batteries out of reach of children and anyone else
who might swallow such items or otherwise cause
injury to themselves. Do not change batteries in
front of them and do not let them see where you
keep your battery supply. Discard used batteries
carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken
for pills or the like. Never put a battery or hearing
aid in your mouth for any reason as you may risk
swallowing it.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid, as this
could cause permanent damage to their hear ing.
• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing but
can help you to make the best possible use of your
remaining hearing ability. However, you should be
aware that it takes time to get used to a new hear-
ing aid and new sounds.
• When selecting a listening program, please re-
member that there are situations in which it is par-
ticularly important to be able to hear the surround-
ing sounds (e.g. traffic, warning signals).
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accu-
mulation of earwax. Contact your physician/ENT
doctor if you suspect that a plug of earwax has ac-
cumulated in your ear. Earwax may not only reduce
your own hearing but also the effect of the hearing
aid considerably. It is a good idea to ask your phy-
sician to clean your ears a couple of times a year.
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic
materials. Nonetheless, in rare cases skin irritation
may occur. If you notice skin irritation in or around
your ear or ear canal, contact your hearing care
professional.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type or re-
charged. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
