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 centimeter (0.4
inches) 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
examinations and CT/MR/PET scans,
electrotherapy, surgery, etc. as your
hearing aid may be damaged when ex-
posed 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
products and allow time to dry
before use.
