In the unlikely case that any parts remain in

the ear canal aer the removal of the hearing

aid, contact a physician immediately.

Remove your hearing aids for CT and MRI

scans or for other electromagnetic procedures.

Special care should be exercised in wearing

hearing aids when maximum sound

pressure levels exceed 132 decibels. There

may be a risk of impairing your remaining

hearing. Speak with your hearing healthcare

professional to ensure the maximum output of

your hearing aids is suitable for your particular

hearing loss.

Magnet and battery warnings

Never leave hearing aids, batteries or magnets

where small children and pets can reach them.

Never put hearing aids or batteries in your

mouth. If a hearing aid or battery is swallowed,

call a physician immediately.

The magnet may aect some medical

devices or electronic systems. Always keep

the magnet (or the telephone equipped

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.

Hearing aids should only be used as directed

by your physician or hearing healthcare

professional.

Hearing aids will not restore normal hearing

and will not prevent or improve a hearing

impairment resulting from organic conditions.

Do not use your hearing aids in explosion

hazard areas.

Allergic reactions to hearing aids are

unlikely. However, if you experience itching,

redness, soreness, inflammation or a burning

sensation in or around your ears, inform your

hearing healthcare professional and contact

your physician.

4 5

Too high distortion during dialing or phoning

may mean that the phone handset is stressed

by the magnet. To avoid any damage, please

move the magnet to another place on the

telephone receiver.

Note to hearing healthcare professional

Domes should never be tted on patients with

perforated eardrums, exposed middle ear

cavities, or surgically altered ear canals. In the

case of such a condition, we recommend to

use a customized earmold.

Labeling

The serial number and year of manufacture are

with the magnet) at least 30 cm (12”) away

from pacemakers, credit cards or other

magnetically sensitive devices.

Precautions

The use of hearing aids is only part of hearing

rehabilitation; auditory training and lip

reading instruction may be required as well.

In most cases, infrequent use of hearing aids

does not provide full benet. Once you have

become accustomed to your hearing aids,

wear your hearing aids everyday all day.

Your hearing aids use the most modern

components to provide the best possible

sound quality in every listening situation.

However, communication devices such as

digital cell phones can create interference

(a buzzing sound) in hearing aids. If you

experience interference from a cell phone

being used close by, you can minimize this

interference in a number of ways. Switch your

hearing aids to another program, turn your

head in a dierent direction or locate the cell

phone and move away from it.

Tinnitus masker

Tinnitus masker uses broadband noise to provide

temporary relief of tinnitus.

Tinnitus masker warnings

The tinnitus masker is a broadband sound

generator. It provides a means of sound

enrichment therapy that can be used as

part of a personalized tinnitus management

program to provide temporary relief from

tinnitus.

The underlying principle of sound enrichment

is to provide supplementary noise stimulation

which can help defocus your attention from

your tinnitus and avoid negative reactions.

Sound enrichment, coupled with instructional

counseling, is an established approach to

managing tinnitus.

Air conduction hearing aids with the tinnitus

masker are to be tted by a hearing healthcare

professional familiar with the diagnosis and

management of tinnitus.

Should you develop any side eects while

using the tinnitus masker, such as headaches,

nausea, dizziness or heart palpitations or

experience a decrease in auditory function

such as decreased loudness tolerance,

worsening of tinnitus, or speech not as clear,

you should discontinue use of the device and

seek medical attention.

The volume of the tinnitus masker can be

set to a level which could lead to permanent

hearing damage when used for a prolonged

period of time. Should the tinnitus masker be

set to such a level in your hearing aid, your

hearing healthcare professional will advise

you of the maximum amount of time per day

you should use the tinnitus masker. The

tinnitus masker should never be used at

uncomfortable levels.

Protecting your hearing aids

• Open the battery door when not in use.

• Always remove your hearing aids when using

hair care products. The hearing aids can

become clogged and cease to function properly.

• Do not wear your hearing aids in the bath or

shower or immerse them in water.

• If your hearing aids do become wet, do not

attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave. Do

not adjust any controls. Open the battery doors

immediately, and allow your hearing aids to dry

naturally for 24 hours.

• Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat

(hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard).

• Ensure you do not twist or squeeze the wire

when your hearing aids are placed in their case.

• Regular use of a dehumidier, such as a Dri-Aid

kit, can help prevent corrosion and prolong the

life of your hearing aids.

• Do not drop your hearing aids or knock them

against hard surfaces.

Important information

The tinnitus masker generates sounds that are

used as part of your personalized temporary

tinnitus management program to provide

relief from tinnitus. It should always be

used as prescribed by a hearing healthcare

professional who is familiar with the diagnosis

and treatment of tinnitus.

Good health practice requires that a person

reporting tinnitus have a medical evaluation by

a licensed ear physician before using a sound

generator. The purpose of such an evaluation

is to ensure that medically treatable conditions,

which may be causing tinnitus, are identied

and treated prior to using a sound generator.

The tinnitus masker is intended for adults 18

years of age or older who have both hearing

loss and tinnitus.
