WARNING

• Please note that when using any type of hearing aid, you must

allow regular ventilation of the ear. If the ear is not adequately

ventilated, there may be a slightly increased risk of infection

or disease in the ear canal. We therefore recommend that you

remove the hearing aid and ear-set from your ear when you

go to bed, to allow the ear canal to be ventilated. If possible,

you should also remove your hearing aid and ear-set during

the day if there are any periods when you do not need them.

Make sure that you clean and inspect your hearing aid and

ear-set as required. If an ear infection or disease occurs, you

should seek medical attention and contact your hearing care

professional for advice on how to disinfect the various hearing

aid parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol, chlo-

rine or similar substances for this purpose.

• Regular use of a de-humidifier is recommended to help avoid

malfunction of the hearing aid.

• Do not use Widex hearing aids in mines or other areas with

explosive gases.

• Do not wear your hearing aid during radiation, X-rays, MRIs,

CT or other medical treatments and scans. The emissions

from these procedures as well as from other types of radia-

tion, such as that in a microwave oven, can damage your hear-

ing aid. Radiation from, for example, room surveillance equip-

ment, burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will

not damage the hearing aid, but may create audible interfer-

ence.
