General Warnings and Safety Guidelines
Familiarize yourself completely with the following
general warnings and safety guidelines before using
your hearing instruments:
· Hearing instruments and batteries can be dangerous
if swallowed or improperly used. Such actions
can result in severe injury, permanent hearing loss
or even fatality.
· Hearing instruments should be used only as directed
and adjusted by your trained hearing care provider.
Misuse or improper adjustments can result in sudden
and permanent hearing loss.
· Hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing
or prevent hearing loss resulting from organic
conditions.
· Never allow others to wear your hearing instruments.
They are adjusted for your hearing requirements and
may permanently damage another person’s hearing.
· Avoid wearing your hearing instrument while playing
contact sports (e.g. rugby, football etc.), since a strike
to the ear could be harmful.
· Be aware that use of a hearing instrument may cause
excess ear wax to build up in the ear canal which may
require removal by a trained medical professional.
