Hearing aids should not be tted with domes / wax protection
systems when used by clients with perforated eardrums,
inamed ear canals or otherwise exposed middle ear cavities.
In these cases, we recommend the use of a custom earpiece. In
the unlikely case that any part of this product should remain
in the ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see
a medical specialist for safe removal.
Avoid strong physical impacts to the ear when wearing a
hearing aid with customized earpiece. The stability of
customized earpieces is designed for normal use. A strong
physical impact to the ear (e.g. during sports) may cause the
customized earpiece to break. This may lead to perforation of
the ear canal or eardrum.
After mechanical stress or shock to the customized earpiece,
please ensure that it is intact before placing it in the ear.
Protect your hearing aid and charging accessories
from heat (never leave near a window or in the car). Never use
a microwave or other heating devices to dry your hearing aid
or charging accessories (due to risk of re or explosion). Ask
your hearing care professional about suitable drying methods.
Do not place the charging accessories close to an induction
cooking surface. Conductive structures inside the charging
accessories could absorb inductive energy resulting in thermal
destruction.
The dome should be changed every three months or when it
becomes sti or brittle. This is to prevent the dome from
detaching from the tube spout during insertion into or
removal from the ear.
