You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire

contents of this booklet before using your hearing instrument.

Usage of hearing instruments

• Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your Hearing

Care Professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.

• Never allow others to wear your hearing instrument as incorrect usage could cause

permanent damage to their hearing.

Choking hazards

• Hearing instruments, their parts, and batteries are not toys and should be kept out

of reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause

injury to themselves.

• Never replace the battery or adjust the controls of the hearing instrument in front of

infants, small children or people with learning diculties.

• Discard batteries carefully in a place where infants, small children or people with

learning diculties cannot reach them.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Open the battery compartment fully to allow air to circulate whenever you are not

using your hearing instrument, particularly overnight.

Warnings

10 11

• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine

carefully before swallowing any pills.

• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they

are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.

• Most hearing instruments can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery

compartment upon request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children,

and people with learning diculties.

If a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed, see a doctor immediately and call the

National Poison Center, collect (202) 625-3333.

Battery use

• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of

low quality may leak and cause bodily harm.

• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious

injury.

• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and

cause serious injury.

Dysfunction in hearing instruments

• Hearing instruments may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired

or if the tubing is blocked by moisture or ear wax. You should be aware of this

possibility, in particular when you are in trac or otherwise dependent on warning

sounds.

Active implants

Caution must be shown with active implants. As general advice, follow the guidelines

as recommended by manufacturers of implantable debrillators and pacemakers

regarding use with cell phones:

• If you wear an active implant, then keep the hearing instrument more than 15 cm

away from the implant, e.g., do not carry them in a breast pocket.

• If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your

implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance.

Warnings Warnings

12 13

• The MultiTool has a built-in magnet. If you have an implantable device, such as

pacemakers or debrillators, the MultiTool should not be carried in a breast pocket or

near the chest.

Explosives

• The power source in your hearing instrument has insucient energy to cause re in

normal conditions of use. The hearing instrument has not been tested for compliance

with international standards concerning explosive environments. It is recommended

not to use your hearing instrument in areas where there is a danger of explosions.

X-ray, CT, MR, PET scanning and electrotherapy

• Remove your hearing instrument, for example, during X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning,

electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing instruments may be damaged when

exposed to strong elds.

Possible side eects

• Hearing instruments, molds or domes may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear

wax.

• The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing instruments may in rare

cases cause a skin irritation or any other unusual condition.

Please seek consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.

Interference

• Your hearing instrument has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to

the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing

instrument and other devices may occur, for example for some cell phones, citizens

band devices and shop alarm systems. If this occurs, increase the distance between

the hearing instrument and the device.

Warnings Warnings

Warning to hearing instrument dispensers

A hearing instrument dispenser should advise a prospective hearing instrument user

to consult immediately with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before

dispensing a hearing instrument if the hearing instrument dispenser determines

through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information

concerning the prospective user, that the prospective user has any of the following

conditions:

(i) Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.

(ii) History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.

(iii) History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90

days.

(iv) Acute or chronic dizziness.

(v) Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.

(vi) Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 Hertz (Hz),

1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.

(vii) Visible evidence of signicant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear

canal.

(viii) Pain or discomfort in the ear.

Warnings

Special care should be exercised in selecting and tting a hearing instrument whose

maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL as there may be risk of

impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user.

Important notice for prospective hearing instrument users

• Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical

evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases

of the ear) before purchasing a hearing instrument. Licensed physicians who

specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as Otolaryngologists, Otologists

or Otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to ensure that all

medically treatable conditions that may aect hearing are identied and treated

before the hearing instrument is purchased. Following the medical evaluation, the

physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has

been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing

instrument. The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing instrument

dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing instrument evaluation.

Warnings

16 17

Children with hearing loss

In addition to seeing a physician for medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss

should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation, since hearing loss

may cause problems in language development and educational and social growth of a

child. An audiologist is qualied by training and experience to assist in the evaluation

and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. If the user is an infant, small child,

or person of mental incapacity, it is recommended that the hearing instrument be

modied with a tamper-resistant battery compartment.

Warnings

• The audiologist or hearing instrument dispenser will conduct a hearing instrument

evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing instrument. The

hearing instrument evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and

t a hearing instrument to your individual needs. If you have reservations about

your ability to adapt to amplication, you should inquire about the availability of a

trial, rental or purchase-option program. Many hearing instrument dispensers now

oer programs that permit you to wear a hearing instrument for a period of time

for a nominal fee, after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing

instrument. Federal law limits the sale of hearing instruments to those individuals

who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician.

• Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the

medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a

physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use

is strongly discouraged. A hearing instrument will not restore normal hearing and will

not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions.

A hearing instrument is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be

supplemented by auditory training and lip reading.
