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.
WARNING: When to See a Doctor
If you have any of the problems listed below, please see a doctor, preferably an ear-nose-throat doctor (an ENT).
• Your ear has a birth defect or an unusual shape. Your ear was injured or deformed in an accident.
• You saw blood, pus, or fluid coming out of your ear in the past 6 months.
• Your ear feels painful or uncomfortable.
• You have a lot of ear wax, or you think something could be in your ear.
• You get really dizzy or have a feeling of spinning or swaying (called vertigo).
WARNING: If you are younger than 18, do not use this.
You should go 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.
Warnings

• Your hearing changed suddenly in the past 6 months.
• Your hearing changes: it gets worse then gets better again.
• You have worse hearing in one ear.
• You hear ringing or buzzing in only one ear.
WARNING: This hearing aid should not cause pain when inserting it.
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 can also report this to FDA as
an adverse event according to the instructions that appear later.
WARNING: You have active implantable devices.
If you have active implantable devices (such as a pacemaker), keep magnets (charging base) at least 6
inches away from the active implant. Tweak recommends you always follow the guidelines of the implant
manufacturer. If you suspect any interference to your implant, immediately discontinue use of electronic
devices, including hearing aids. Contact implant manufacturer and Tweak Hearing to report the suspected
interference.
WARNING: Electromagnetic testing
Prior to any CT, MRI scans or other electromagnetic procedure, remove your hearing aids.
Caution: This is not hearing protection.
You should remove this device if you experience overly loud sounds, whether short or long-lasting. If you’re in
a loud place, you should use the right kind of hearing protection instead of wearing this device. In general, if
you would use ear plugs in a 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 eartip, 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.
Also if you experience side effects from wearing the hearing aids, contact a hearing healthcare professional.
Possible side effects may be: dizziness, tinnitus, perceived worsening of hearing loss, nausea, headache, skin
reaction, or excessive ear wax accumulation.
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 benefit from
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.
