These hearing aids are water resistant and not waterproof.
They are designed to withstand normal activities and
occasional accidental exposure to extreme conditions. Never
immerse your hearing aid in water! These hearing aids are
not specically designed for extended periods of water
submersion on a continual basis, that is worn in activities
such as swimming or bathing. Always remove your hearing aid
before these activities, as the hearing aid contains sensitive
electronic parts.
Never wash the microphone inputs. Doing so could cause it
to lose its special acoustic features.
Protect your hearing aid and charger 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 charger (due to
risk of re or explosion). Ask your hearing care professional
about suitable drying methods.
Do not place the charger close to an induction cooking
surface. Conductive structures inside the charger could absorb
inductive energy resulting in thermal destruction.
22.2 Information on product safety
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.
