WARNING: If you are younger than 18, do not use this.
You should talk to a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-
throat doctor (an ENT), because your condition needs
specialized care. Over-the-counter hearing aids are
only for users who are age 18 or older.
This OTC hearing aid is for users who are 18 and older.
People who are younger than 18 with hearing loss should
see a doctor, preferably an ENT, because they may need
medical testing and management. Hearing loss can
affect speech and learning, so professional fitting and
continuing care are also important.

Remove this device from your ear if it causes
pain or discomfort when you insert or place it.
To try again, make sure to follow the instructions.
If you feel pain or discomfort again, contact the
manufacturer. If your pain or discomfort doesn’t go
away, contact your hearing healthcare professional.

You should remove this device if you experience
overly loud sounds, whether short or long-lasting.

loud place, you should remove this device and use
ear plugs.

Caution: The sound output should not be
uncomfortable or painful.
You should turn down the volume or remove the
device if the sound output is uncomfortably loud or
painful. If you consistently need to turn the volume
down, you may need to further adjust your device.
Caution: You might need medical help if a piece
gets stuck in your ear.
If any part of your hearing aid, like the ear tip, gets
stuck in your ear, and you can’t easily remove it
with your fingers, 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.
Note: If you remain concerned, consult a
professional.
If you try this device and continue to struggle

with or remain concerned about your hearing,
you should consult with a hearing healthcare
professional.
Note: What you might expect when you start
using a hearing aid.
A hearing aid can benefit many people with hearing
loss. However, you should know it will not restore
normal hearing, and you may still have some
difficulty 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 find 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.
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.
