Safety Information
INTENDED USE: An air conduction hearing aid is a
wearable sound-amplifying device intended to compensate
for impaired hearing. Hearing aids are available in multiple
gain/output levels appropriate to treat hearing losses
ranging from mild to profound.
Your hearing instruments are designed to comply with the
most stringent Standards of International Electromagnetic
Compatibility. However, it is still possible that you may
experience interference caused by power line disturbances,
airport metal detectors, electromagnetic fields from other
medical devices, radio signals and electrostatic discharges.
If you use other medical devices or wear implantable
medical devices such as defibrillators or pacemakers and
are concerned that your hearing instruments might cause
interference with your medical device, please contact your
physician or the manufacturer of your medical device for
information about the risk of disturbance.
Your hearing instruments should not be worn during
an MRI procedure or in a hyperbaric chamber. Your
hearing instruments are not formally certified to operate
in explosive atmospheres such as coal mines or certain
chemical factories. Your hearing instruments are classified
as a Type B applied part under the IEC 60601-1 medical
device standard.
Your hearing instruments should be stored within the
temperature and humidity ranges of -40
o
C (-40
o
F) to
+60
o
C (140
o
F) and 10 to 95 percent relative humidity (rH).
Your hearing instruments are designed to operate beyond
the range of temperatures comfortable to you, from very
cold up to 50
o
C (122
o
F).
Use on Aircrafts
The optional wireless capabilities that may be featured in your
hearing instruments should not be used on an aircraft unless
specifically permitted by the flight personnel. Your iPhone
should be put into Airplane Mode or turned off.
