About Getting started Daily use Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
For your personal safety and to ensure
correct usage, you should familiarize
yourself fully with the following general
warnings before using your hearing aid.
Consult your hearing care professional if
you experience unexpected operations
or serious incidents with your hearing
aid 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 benefit from it.
(miniRITE R only)
Only charge the hearing aids with a
designated charger. Other chargers risk
destroying the hearing aids and batteries.
This hearing aid is supported by a non-
removable rechargeable lithium-ion
battery cell. Please ensure to charge
the hearing aid and familiarize yourself
with the safety and handling information
related to rechargeable hearing aids.
Do not try to get access to the battery
inserted in the hearing instrument. The
battery must only be replaced by your
hearing care professional.
Only charge the hearing aid with a
designated charger. Other chargers risk
destroying the hearing aid and battery.
Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids 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
aid, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards and risk of swallowing
batteries or other small parts
Hearing aids, their parts and batteries
should be kept out of reach of children and
anyone who might swallow these items or
otherwise cause injury to themselves.
If a battery to a hearing aid or CROS
transmitter is swallowed, see a doctor
immediately and contact the National
Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 or
National Battery Ingestion Hotline at
1-800-498-8666.
(miniRITE T only)
Batteries have occasionally been mistaken
for pills. Therefore, check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
Most hearing aids can be supplied with
a tamper-resistant battery drawer upon
request. This is strongly recommended for
infants, small children, and people with
intellectual and developmental disabilities.
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
and never dispose of batteries by burning
them. There is a risk that the batteries will
explode.
