• 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.
• Be aware that the use of any type of hearing aid
may involve a slightly increased risk of infection in
the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of
inadequate ventilation of the ear. We therefore rec-
ommend 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 in-
fection occurs, you should seek medical attention
and contact your hearing care professional for ad-
vice on how to disinfect the various hearing aid
parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine or similar substances.
• Your hearing aid uses a built-in transceiver for co-
ordination between the hearing aids. The magnetic
field strength of the transceiver is very low.
• Your hearing aid has been tested for interference
according to international standards. Nevertheless,
it is possible that unforeseen interference may oc-
cur in the hearing aid due to electromagnetic radi-
ation from other products such as alarm systems
and mobile phones.
