General warnings
For your personal safety and to ensure correct usage,
you should familiarize yourself fully with the following
general warnings before using your hearing aids.
Consult your hearing care professional if you
experience unexpected operations or serious
incidents with your hearing aids during use or
because of its use. Your hearing care professional
will support you with issue handling and, if relevant,
reporting to the manufacturer and/or the national
authorities.
Note that hearing aids do not restore normal hearing
and do not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Hearing aids are
only a part of hearing habilitation and may need to
be supplemented by auditory training and instruction
in lipreading. Furthermore, note that in most cases,
infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a
user to attain full benefi t from it.

· Hearing aids should only be used as directed and
adjusted by your hearing care professional, misuse
can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
