Dysfunction
• Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working with-
out notice. Keep this in mind when
you depend on warning sounds
(e.g. when you are in trac). The
hearing aids may stop functioning,
for instance if the batteries have
expired or if the tubing is blocked by
moisture or ear wax.
Active implants
• The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterised for human
health according to international
standards for human exposure
(Specic Absorption Ratio – SAR),
induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body. The
exposure values are well below in-
ternational accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power
and voltages into the human body
dened in the standards for human
health and coexistence with active
medical implants, such as pacemak-
ers and heart debrillators.
• The Autophone magnet or MultiTool
(which has a built-in magnet) should
be kept more than 30 cm away from
the implant e.g. do not carry it in a
breast pocket. In general, please
follow the guidelines recommended
by the manufacturers of implantable
debrillators and pacemakers on use
with magnets.
Warnings
• If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of
your implantable device for informa-
tion about the risk of disturbance.
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy and surgery
• Remove your hearing aid before
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scannings,
electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your
hearing aid may be damaged when
exposed to strong electromagnetic
elds.
Heat and chemicals
• Your hearing aid must never be
exposed to extreme heat e.g. left
inside a parked car in the sun.
• Your hearing aid must not be dried in
microwave ovens or other ovens.
• The chemicals in cosmetics, hair-
spray, perfume, aftershave lotion,
suntan lotion and insect repellent
can damage your hearing aid. Always
remove your hearing aid before
applying such products and allow
time to dry before putting it on.
