ADVICE

NOTE…
• The hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not pre-

vent or improve a hearing loss resulting from organic condi-
tions. 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 permit

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 instruc-
tion 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 physician to clean
your ears a couple of times a year.
