brush. Do the cleaning on a soft table to avoid damage or

Battery caring
The performance of hearing instrument greatly depends
on the quality of the battery using.
1) It is important to use high-quality batteries. With
reliable high-quality batteries, you can avoid periodic
hearing instrument failures.
2) It is also important that the batteries are well packed
before use. Each battery is therefore provided with an
adhesive label which ensures the battery is sealed and
fresh till use.
3) Never leave an exhausted battery in the hearing
instrument. Exhausted battery may leak and it would
damage the instrument.
Low battery warning
When you hear one short beep, it means that the battery
is running out. Intermittent warning exists until you
replace the battery.
The sound quality may be influenced after the first
warning, this is normal and can be remedied by inserting a
fresh battery in the hearing instrument.
Always remove the battery if your instrument is not in use
for long periods of time.

FDA information
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a
written statement that states that your hearing loss has been
medically evaluated and that you may be considered a
candidate for a hearing aid.The physician will refer you to an
audiologist or hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a
hearing aid evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a
hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and
without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable
the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to
your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to
amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a
trial rental or purchase-option program. Many hearing aid
dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear a
hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which
you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those
individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a
licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult
to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation
for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation
with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your
best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
