Caution: You might need medical help if a piece gets stuck in your
ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the eartip, gets stuck in your ear, and
you can’t easily remove it with your ngers, get medical help as soon
as you can. You should not try to use tweezers or cotton swabs because
they can push the part farther into your ear, injuring your eardrum or
ear canal, possibly seriously.
Note: If you remain concerned, consult with a professional.
If you try this device and continue to struggle with or remain
concerned about your hearing, you should consult with a hearing
healthcare professional.
Note: What you might expect when you start using a hearing aid.
A hearing aid can benet many people with hearing loss. However,
you should know it will not restore normal hearing, and you may still
have some difculty hearing over noise. Further, a hearing aid will
not prevent or improve a medical condition that causes hearing loss.
People who start using hearing aids sometimes need a few weeks
to get used to them. Similarly, many people nd that training or
counseling can help them get more out of their devices. If you have
hearing loss in both ears, you might get more out of using hearing aids
in both, especially in situations that make you tired from listening-for
example, noisy environments.
