(Contraindications)
• Congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear
• Active drainage from the ear within 90 days
• History of rapid progressive hearing loss within previous 90
days
• Acute or chronic dizziness
• Sudden unilateral hearing loss in previous 90 days
• Do not wear your hearing aid during X-rays, scans (CT and
MRI) or radiation treatments. Other types of radiation, such
as that in a microwave oven, can also damage your hearing
aid.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in mines or other
areas with explosive gases.
WARNING
(Warnings) In rare situations, the performance of the CLEAR
hearing aids and/or the DEX may be affected by other devic-
es emitting a much stronger EM field. For example, radiation
from room surveillance equipment, burglar alarms and mo-
bile phones may cause interference. Some mobile phone dis-
plays and computer monitors could interfere with the wire-
less functions when the hearing aids are within a few cm from
them. While the hearing aids are still functional, the commu-
nications between the hearing aids may be temporarily sus-
pended until the wearers remove themselves from the vicin-
ity of the stronger EM field. A message “partner check” may
be audible. Keep at least a distance of 15 cm from these po-
tential interfering sources.
