Please read the information on the following pages
before using your hearing aid.
A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and
will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use
of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full
benefit from it. The use of a hearing aid is only
part of hearing habilitation and may need to be
supplemented by auditory training and instruction
in lipreading.
2.1Hazard warnings
!The intended use of hearing aids is to amplify and
transmit sound to the ears and hereby compensate
for impaired hearing. The hearing aids (specially
programmed for each hearing loss) must only be used
by the intended person. They should not be used by
any other person as they could damage hearing.

!Do not use the hearing aids in explosive areas (mines
or industrial areas with danger of explosions).
!Hearing aid batteries are toxic if they are swallowed!
Keep out of reach of children and mentally challenged
people or pets. If batteries are swallowed, consult
your medical physician immediately!
!If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inflamed,
if skin irritation or accelerated accumulations of ear
wax occur, please check with your hearing care

leave it near a window or in the car). Never use a
microwave or other heating devices to dry your

suitable drying methods.
IWhen you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
