Prior to use, have the electromagnetic compatibility verifi ed.
Consult the physician that implanted the device before using your

Important safety information
Product safety
NOTICE
Leaking batteries damage the hearing instruments.
Turn the hearing instruments off when not in use to preserve the battery.
Remove batteries when the instruments are not in use for a
prolonged period of time.
NOTICE
Protect your hearing instruments from extreme heat. Do not expose
them to direct sunlight.
NOTICE
Do not dry your hearing instruments in the microwave oven.
NOTICE
Different types of strong radiation, e. g. during X-ray or MRI head
examinations, may damage hearing instruments.
Do not wear the hearing instruments during these or similar procedures.
Weaker radiation, e. g. from radio equipment or airport security,
does not damage the hearing instruments.
NOTICE
Protect your hearing instruments from high humidity. Do not wear
them in the shower or when you apply make-up, perfume,
aftershave, hairspray or suntan lotion.
Only for two instruments or the use of a remote control:
In some countries restrictions for the usage of wireless equipment exist.
Refer to local authorities for further information.
NOTICE
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply with international
standards on electromagnetic compatibility but interference with nearby
electronic devices could occur. In this case, move away from the source
of interference.
Tinnitus noiser
Your hearing instrument may be equipped with a tinnitus noiser. The use of
the tinnitus noiser should be only on the advice and in consultation with
your NHS Provider.
WARNING
Risk of further impairment to the user’s hearing health.
There are some potential concerns associated with the use of any sound
generating tinnitus therapy device. Discontinue use and seek medical
evaluation if any of the following conditions occur:
chronic skin irritation on, near, or around the site of device placement.
unusual side effects (e.g. dizziness, nausea, headaches, heart
palpitations).
perceived decrease in auditory function (e.g. decreased loudness,
speech not as clear).
WARNING
Risk of further impairment to the user’s hearing health.
The volume of the tinnitus noiser can be set to a level which could lead to
permanent hearing damage when used for a prolonged period of time.
The tinnitus noiser should never be used at uncomfortable levels.
For NHS Providers:
The target population is primarily the adult population over 21 years of age.
The patient may have some control of the level or volume of the signal and the
patient should discuss this adjustment as well as his or her comfort level and
sound of the signal with their NHS Provider.
WARNING
Risk of further impairment to the user’s hearing health. The volume of the
tinnitus noiser can be set to a level which could lead to permanent hearing
damage when used for a prolonged period of time.
Should the tinnitus noiser be set to such a level in the hearing
instrument, advise the user of the maximum amount of time per
day he or she should use the tinnitus noiser.
For example, occupational safety guidelines restrict continuous noise
exposure of 80 dBA SPL to 8 hours per day.
The tinnitus noiser should never be used at uncomfortable levels.
WARNING
Risk of further impairment to the user’s hearing health. An NHS Provider
should advise a prospective tinnitus noiser user to consult promptly with a
licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before using the tinnitus
noiser if the NHS Provider determines through inquiry, actual observation,
or review of any other available information concerning the prospective
user that the prospective user has any of the following conditions:
Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the
previous 90 days.
Acute or chronic dizziness.
Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous
90 days.
Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 dB at 500Hz,
1,000Hz and 2,000Hz.
Visible evidence of signifi cant cerumen accumulation or a foreign
body in the ear canal.
Pain or discomfort in the ear.
