ADVICE
NOTE
• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic
conditions . However, the hearing aid can help you to make
the best possible use of your remaining hearing ability . You
should also bear in mind that it can take time to get used to a
new hearing aid and new sounds .
• In most cases, using the hearing aid infrequently will not per-
mit you to gain 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 .
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of
earwax . Contact your physician/ENT doctor if you suspect
that a plug of earwax has accumulated in your ear . Earwax
may not only reduce your own hearing but also the effect of
the hearing aid considerably . It is a good idea to ask your phy-
sician to clean your ears a couple of times a year .
