Please read the information on the following pages
before using your hearing system.
A hearing system will not restore normal hearing
and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment
resulting from organic conditions. Infrequent use
of a hearing system does not permit a user to attain
full benefit from it. The use of a hearing system 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 systems that have been specially
programmed for you by your hearing care professional.
Other systems may be ineffective and may, in
certain cases, damage your hearing.
Changes or modifications to the hearing system
that were not explicitly approved by Phonak are
not permitted. Such changes may damage your ear
or the hearing system.
2. Important safety information
Hearing system 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.
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.
The hearing system contains small parts which can
be swallowed by children.
