General

• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing but

can help you make best possible use of your remain-
ing hearing ability. However, you should be aware
that it takes time to get used to a new hearing aid
and new sounds.

• The hearing aid is made of modern non-allergenic

materials. Still, in rare cases skin irritation can occur. If
you notice skin irritation in or around your ear or ear
canal, contact your hearing care professional.

• Please be aware that the use of any type of hearing

aid may involve a slightly increased risk of infection
in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a result of
inadequate ventilation of the ear. Therefore, we rec-
ommend that you remove the hearing aid and ear-
set from your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be
ventilated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your
hearing aid and ear-set as required. If an infection oc-
curs, you should seek medical attention and contact
your hearing care professional for advice on how to
disinfect the various hearing aid parts. Do not under
any circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar
substances.
