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
Use only hearing aids that have been specially
programmed for you by your hearing care
professional. Other aids may be ineffective and
may, in certain cases, damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the hearing aid that
were not explicitly approved by Phonak are not
permitted. Such changes may damage your ear or
the hearing aid.
2. Important safety information
Hearing aid batteries are toxic if they are
swallowed! Keep out of reach of children and pets.
If batteries are swallowed, consult your physician
immediately!
If you feel pain in or behind your ear, if it is inflamed
or if skin irritation and accelerated accumulations
of ear wax occur, please check with your hearing care
professional or physician.
Pieces of broken ceramic housings are sharp-edged
and can cause cuts.
In very rare cases, the dome can remain in your ear
canal when removing the hearing tube from the ear.
In the unlikely case that the dome does get stuck in
your ear canal, it is strongly recommended to see a
physician for safe removal.
Hearing programs in the directional microphone mode
reduce background noises. Please be aware that
warning signals or noises coming from behind, e. g.
cars, are partially or entirely suppressed.
