Aids and Hearing Aid Accessories such as wireless remote controls or
communicators at least 15 cm away from the implant.
If you experience any interference, do not use the hearing aids and/or
hearing aid accessories, and contact the manufacturer of the implant.

trostatic discharge, airport metal detectors etc.
If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of
the implant for risk evaluation.
