Before Use
Introduction
We would like to thank you for purchasing the
Panasonic Hearing Instrument.
The Panasonic Digital Hearing Instrument helps
optimize both intelligibility and comprehension for the
hearing impaired.
The type of hearing aid that will work best for you
depends on the type and severity of your hearing loss
and usage conditions. You will need to get a thorough
hearing evaluation and have your ears examined by
an ear specialist or an audiologist. They will suggest
the most appropriate type of hearing aid for you
depending on the type and degree of hearing loss. In
order to get the right hearing aid that will be tailored
to meet your individual needs and lifestyle, be sure to
have your hearing aid properly fitted and fine-tuned
to your ears, as an improper fit can cause comfort and
flexibility issues, and even further damage to the ear.
It is important to keep in mind that hearing aids will
not restore normal hearing, nor will they halt the
progression of hearing loss. They are intended to
compensate for impaired hearing. They should be used
only for the purpose they are designed and directed.
Carefully read the instructions and make sure you fully
understand the operation of the hearing aid before
using it.

Warning to hearing aid dispensers
A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective
hearing aid user to consult a physician if it is
determined through inquiry, actual observation,
or review of any other available information, that
the prospective user has any of the following
conditions:
· Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the
ear.
· History of active drainage from the ear within the
previous 90 days.
· History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing
loss within the previous 90 days.
· Acute or chronic dizziness.
· Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset
within the previous 90 days.
· Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15
decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1 000 Hz, and 2 000 Hz.
· Visible evidence of significant cerumen
accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
· Pain or discomfort in the ear.

Before Use
Important notice for prospective hearing aid 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 aid.
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 assure that all medically treatable
conditions that may affect hearing are identified and
treated before the hearing aid 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 an audiologist or a
hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid
evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct
a hearing evaluation to assess your ability to hear
with and without a hearing aid. The evaluation will
enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit
a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to
adapt to amplification, you should inquire about
the availability of a trial-rental or purchase-option
program. Many hearing aid dispensers now offer
programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for
a period of time for a nominal fee after which you
may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids 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.

Before Use
Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical
evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should
be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and
rehabilitation since hearing loss may cause problem
in language development and the educational and
social growth of a child.
An audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation and
rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
