Operation Manual

WARNING
• 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.
• 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 hear-
ing aid parts. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine 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.
