Welcome

Congratulations on your new hearing aid.

Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Infrequent users don’t usually get the full benefit of a hearing aid.

Important safety information

Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.

Hearing aids andbatteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used

improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or

even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact your local emergency

number or hospital immediately.

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to

ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.

Contact your doctor orhearing care professional immediately if you

suspect you may have an ear infection or an allergic reaction.

Contact your hearing care professional if the hearing aid doesn't feel

comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the

like.

Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair

dryer.

Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion

or cream.

Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.

Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use

yours, as this could damage your hearing.

Never use your hearingaids in environments wherethere may be

explosive gases, such as in mines, etc.

Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from

children and mentally disabled people.

Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing

care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.

Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always

observe the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions

apply, you must take precautions to comply with these.

Please note thatstreaming sound to your hearing aids at a high volume

can prevent you from hearingother important sounds such as alarms

and traffic noise. In such situations make sure to keep the volume of the

streamed sound at a suitablelevel.

Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a

level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your

remaining hearing.

Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high

humidity, and dry themquickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.

Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature

and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.

Your hearing aids are designed to operate within the temperature, humidity

and atmospheric pressure ranges of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F), 10%-95% rH

and 750 to 1060 mBar.

You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your

hearing aids on https://global.widex.com.
