Good advice
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of
accumulation of earwax. Contact your ENT
doctor/physician if you suspect that a plug of
earwax has accumulated in your ear. Earwax
may not only reduce your own hearing but also
the effect of the hearing aid considerably. It is a
good idea to ask your physician to clean your
ears a couple of times a year.
• Please be sure to keep your hearing aid and its
accessories out of the reach of children, who
might place them in their mouths. Also keep
batteries out of children’s reach and discard
used batteries carefully. Do not change batter-
ies in front of children or let them see where
you keep your supply.
• Never put a battery in your mouth for any rea-
son as you may risk swallowing it. In case of
ingestion, contact your physician immediately
and the 24 Hour National Button Battery In-
gestion Hotline at: (202)626-3333
• The hearing aid is made of modern non-aller-
genic materials. Still, in rare cases skin irrita-
tion can occur. If you notice skin irritation in or
around your ear or ear canal, contact your hear-
ing healthcare professional.
• Please be aware that the use of any type of ear-
mold may involve a slightly increased risk of
infection in the ear canal. An infection can
arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the
ear or scratches in the ear canal caused by the
earmold. Therefore, we recommend that you
take out your earmold at night to allow the ear
canal to be ventilated. Make sure that you clean
and inspect your earmold as required. If an in
-
fection occurs it is a good idea to clean your
earmold with a disinfecting tissue or the like.
Do not under any circumstances use alco-hol,
chlorine or similar substances to clean your
earmold.
