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.
When you are not using
your hearing aid, leave the
battery door open so that
any moisture can
evaporate. Make sure that
you always completely dry
your hearing aid after use.
Store the hearing aid in a
safe, dry and clean place.
Do not drop your hearing
aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your
hearing aid.
Always use new batteries
for your hearing aid. In
case a battery is leaking,
replace it immediately with
a new one to avoid any
skin irritation. You can
return used batteries
to your hearing care
professional.
The batteries used in these
hearing aids should not
exceed 1.5 Volts. Please do
not use silver-zinc or Li-ion
(lithium-ion) rechargeable
batteries as these may
cause severe damage to
your hearing aids. The table
in chapter 5 explains
exactly which type of
battery your particular
hearing aids require.
Remove the battery if
you are not using your
hearing aid for a long
period of time.
Special medical or dental
examination including
radiation described below,
may adversely aect the
correct functioning of your
hearing aids. Remove and
keep them outside the
examination room/area
before undergoing:
Medical or dental
examination with X-ray
(also CT scan).
Medical examinations with
MRI/NMRI scans, generating
magnetic elds.
Hearing aids don’t need to
be removed when passing
security gates (airports
etc.). If X-ray is used at all,
it will be in very low doses,
and will not aect the
hearing aids.
Do not use your hearing
aid in areas where
electronic equipment
is prohibited.
