Active implants
The hearing aid has been thoroughly
tested and characterized for human health
according to international standards for
human exposure (Specific Absorption Ratio
- SAR), induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body.
The exposure values are well below
internationally accepted safety limits for
SAR, induced electromagnetic power and
voltages into the human body defined
in the standards for human health
and coexistence with active medical
implants such as pacemakers and heart
defibrillators.
If you have an active brain implant,
please contact the manufacturer of your
implantable device for information about
the risk of disturbance.
The Autophone magnet or MultiTool (which
has a built-in magnet) should be kept more
than 30 centimeters (1 foot) away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it in your breast
pocket.
Follow the guidelines recommended by the
manufacturers of implantable defibrillators
and pacemakers regarding their use with
magnets.
Cochlear implants
If you are using a cochlear implant (CI) on
one ear and a hearing aid on the other ear,
make sure to always keep your CI at least
a 1 centimeters (0,4 inches) distance from
your hearing aid. The magnetic field from
CI sound processors, coils and magnets
may permanently damage the speaker
unit in your hearing aid. Never place the
devices close together on a table e.g. when
cleaning or changing batteries. Do not
carry the CI and the hearing aid together in
the same box.
General warnings
Detached earpiece in ear canal
If the earpiece is not on the speaker
when removed from the ear, the earpiece
may still be in the ear canal. For further
instructions, consult your hearing care
professional.
X-ray/CT/MR/PET scanning,
electrotherapy and surgery
Remove your hearing aid before X-ray, CT/
MR/PET scanning, electrotherapy, surgery,
etc. as your hearing aid may be damaged
when exposed to electromagnetic fields.
Heat and chemicals
The hearing aid must never be exposed to
extreme heat, e.g. left inside a parked car
in the sun.
The hearing aid must not be dried in
microwave ovens or other ovens.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray,
perfume, aftershave lotion, sunscreen
lotion, and insect repellent can damage
the hearing aid. Always remove your
hearing aid before applying such products
and allow time to dry before use.
Connection to external equipment
The safety of the hearing aids, when
connected to external equipment with
USB cable and/or directly, is determined
by the external signal source. When the
hearing aids are connected to external
equipment which is plugged into a power
socket, this equipment must comply
with IEC 62368-1 or equivalent safety
standards.
