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 at a 1 cm distance from
your hearing aid. The magnetic field
from the 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.
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 strong
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 prod-
ucts and allow time to dry before use.
