! Patients implanted with magnetic externally
programmable CSF shunt valves may have a risk of
experiencing an unintended change in their valve
setting when exposed to strong magnetic fields.
The receiver (loudspeaker) of hearing aids and IIC
Remote Control contain static magnets. Keep a
distance of 2 inches (approx. 5 cm) or more
between the magnets and the site of the implanted
shunt valve.
! The majority of hearing aid users have a hearing
loss for which a deterioration in hearing is not to be
expected with regular use of a hearing aid in
everyday situations. Only a small group of hearing
aid wearers with hearing loss, may be at risk of
deterioration in hearing after a long period of use.

Important information
These hearing aids are water resistant and not
waterproof. They are designed to withstand normal
activities and occasional accidental exposure to
extreme conditions. Never immerse your hearing
aid in water! These hearing aids are not specifically
designed for extended periods of water submersion
on a continual basis, that is worn in activities such as
swimming or bathing. Always remove your hearing aid
before these activities, as the hearing aid contains
sensitive electronic parts.
Never wash the microphone inputs. Doing so could
cause it to lose its special acoustic features.
Protect your hearing aid from heat (never leave near
a window or in the car). Never use a microwave or
other heating devices to dry your hearing aid. Ask
your hearing care professional about suitable drying
methods.
When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
battery door open so that any moisture can evaporate.
Make sure that you always completely dry your hearing
aid after use. Store the hearing aid in a safe, dry and
clean place.
Do not drop your hearing aid! Dropping onto a hard
surface can damage your hearing aid.
Always use new batteries for your hearing aid. In case
a battery is leaking, replace it immediately with a new
one to avoid any skin irritation. You can return used
batteries to your hearing care professional.
