before using your Phonak CROS system
A Phonak CROS system will not restore normal hearing
and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use of a
Phonak CROS system does not permit a user to attain
full benefit from it. The use of a Phonak CROS system is
only part of hearing habilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction in
lipreading.
2.1Hazard warnings
Use only Phonak CROS systems that have been
specially programmed for you by your hearing care
professional. Other systems may be ineffective
and may, in certain cases, damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the Phonak CROS system
that were not explicitly approved by Phonak are
not permitted. Such changes may damage your ear
or the hearing system.
