any part of your hearing aid, like the eartip, gets stuck in your ear, and you
can’t easily remove it with your ngers, get medical help as soon as you can.
You should not try to use tweezers or cotton swabs because they can push
the part farther into your ear, injuring your eardrum or ear canal, possibly
seriously.

device and continue to struggle with or remain concerned about your
hearing, you should consult with a hearing healthcare professional.
Caution and notices for users
Caution: This is not hearing protection. You should remove this device if you
experience overly loud sounds, whether short or long-lasting. If you’re in a
loud place, you should use the right kind of hearing protection instead of
wearing this device. In general, if you would use ear plugs in a loud place, you
should remove this device and use ear plugs.
Note: Tell FDA about injuries, malfunctions, or other adverse events. To
report a problem involving your hearing aid, you should submit information
to FDA as soon as possible after the problem. FDA calls them “adverse
events,” and they might include: skin irritation in your ear, injury from the
device (like cuts or scratches, or burns from an overheated battery), pieces
of the device getting stuck in your ear, suddenly worsening hearing loss from
using the device, etc.
Instructions for reporting are available at https://www.fda.gov/Safety/
MedWatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You can also download a form to mail
to FDA.
Note: What you might expect when you start using a hearing aid. A hearing
aid can benet many people with hearing loss. However, you should know
it will not restore normal hearing, and you may still have some difculty
hearing over noise. Further, a hearing aid will not prevent or improve a
medical condition that causes hearing loss. People who start using hearing
aids sometimes need a few weeks to get used to them. Similarly, many
people nd that training or counseling can help them get more out of their
devices. If you have hearing loss in both ears, you might get more out of
using hearing aids in both, especially in situations that make you tired from
listening-for example, noisy environments.
