CAUTION:
• Use your hearing aids as your hearing care professional recommends. Incorrect use may damage
your hearing.
• Do not use a broken or modified hearing aid. It may not work properly and may be harmful to your
hearing. It may also cause scratches or sores due to sharp edges.
• Use only original consumables from the manufacturer (e.g., wax guards).
• Use only accessories intended for use with your hearing aids. Consult your hearing aid professional for
more information.
• Do not try to modify the shape of your hearing aid or accessories. This can cause skin reactions or
sharp edges leading to scratches or sores.
• If you have two hearing aids, they may each be programmed differently. Do not swap them as this
could damage your hearing. Your hearing aids are color-coded. Left=blue.Right=red.
If your hearing aids are not color coded, ask your hearing care professional to add color coding.
• If you suspect that you have a dome, wax filter, or other object in your ear canal, consult your hearing
care professional. These objects can be harmful and can cause an infection in your ear.
• If you have a sore or injury where your hearing aid touches your ear or head, continued use of the
hearing aid may cause it to worsen or prevent it from healing. Consult a hearing care professional for
assistance.
• Your hearing aids are tuned to your hearing. Do not allow others to use your hearing aids as this can
damage their hearing.
