General warnings and cautions
WARNING:
• Consult a hearing care professional:
– If you think there may be a foreign object in your ear canal
– If you experience skin irritation
– If excessive ear wax accumulates with the use of the hearing aid
• See also "Contra-indications", page 5
• Never leave children or people with cognitive, intellectual or mental health challenges unsupervised
while using their hearing aids. Hearing aids contain small pieces that can be dangerous if swallowed.
• If any part of a hearing aid is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
• Do not wear your hearing aids while being exposed to radiation. Some types of radiation, e.g. from MRI
or CT scanners, can affect the settings in your hearing aids, causing malfunction and potentially
damage to your hearing.
• Other types of radiation, such as burglar alarms, room surveillance systems, mobile phones, metal
detectors and radio equipment will not damage your hearing aids. They may, however, briefly affect
the sound quality in your hearing aids and may create undesired sounds.
• Never use your hearing aids in places with explosive gases such as mines, oil fields or similar unless
these areas are certified for hearing aid use. Using your hearing aids in places that are not certified for
hearing aid use can be dangerous.
