Warnings

You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire contents of this booklet before using your hearing aid to ensure personal safety and correct use.

Consult your hearing care professional if you experience unexpected operations or events with your hearing aid.

Please note that a hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions.

Furthermore, note that in most cases, infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full benefit from it.

Usage of Hearing Aids

· Hearing aids should be used only as directed and adjusted by your hearing care professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.

· Never allow others to wear your hearing aid as incorrect usage could cause permanent damage to their hearing

Choking Hazards and Risk of Swallowing

Batteries

· Hearing aids, their parts, and batteries should be kept out of reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items, or otherwise cause injury to themselves

· Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills.

Therefore check your medicine carefully before swallowing any pills.

· Most hearing aids can be supplied with a tamperresistant battery drawer upon request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children, and people with learning difficulties. Ask your hearing care professional if a tamper-resistant battery drawer is available for your hearing aid.

If a battery or other small parts are swallowed, see a doctor immediately.

41

42

Battery Use

· Always use batteries recommended by your hearing care professional. Batteries of low quality may leak and cause bodily harm.

· Never attempt to recharge your batteries and never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that the batteries will explode.

Dysfunction

· Be aware of the possibility that your hearing aid may stop working without notice. Keep this in mind when you depend on warning sounds (e.g., when you are in traffic). The hearing aids may stop functioning, for instance if the batteries have expired or if the tubing is blocked by moisture or ear wax.

Active Implants

· Caution must be taken with active implants

· If your hearing aid has a wireless transmission, keep the hearing aid at least 15 cm away from the implant, e.g. do not carry it in a breast pocket. In general, please follow the guidelines recommended by the manufacturers of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers on use with mobile phones.

· Your Autophone magnet or MultiTool (which has a built-in magnet) should be kept more than

30 cm away from the implant, e.g. do not carry it in a breast pocket. In general, please follow the guidelines recommended by the manufacturer of implantable defibrillators and pacemakers on use with magnets.

· If you have an active brain implant, please contact the manufacturer of your implantable device for information about the risk of disturbance

Explosives

· The power source in your hearing aid has insufficient energy to cause fire in normal usage conditions. The hearing aid has not been tested for compliance with international standards concerning explosive environments. We recommended not to use your hearing aid in areas where there is a danger of explosions.

43

44

X-ray, CT, MR, PET Scanning and Electrotherapy

· Remove your hearing aid for example during

X-ray, CT / MR / PET scanning electrotherapy or surgery as your hearing aid may be damaged when exposed to strong fields

Avoiding Heat and Chemicals

· Your hearing aid must never be exposed to extreme heat e.g., left inside a parked car in the sun

· Your hearing aid must not be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens

· The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, after shave lotion, suntan lotion and insect repellent can damage your hearing aid. Always remove your hearing aid before applying such products and allow time to dry before putting it on.

Power Instrument

· Special care should be exercised in selecting, fitting and using a hearing aid where maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB SPL

(IEC 60318-4), as there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing instrument user

For information of whether your instrument is a power instrument, please ask your hearing care

professional.

Possible Side Effects

· Hearing aids, moulds or domes may cause an accelerated accumulation of ear wax

· The otherwise non-allergenic materials used in hearing aids may in rare cases cause a skin irritation or other side effects

Please seek consultation with a physician if these conditions occur.

Interference

· Your hearing aid has been thoroughly tested for interference, according to the most stringent international standards. However, interference with your hearing aid and other devices may occur,

(e.g., some mobile telephones, citizens band systems,and shop alarm systems). If this occurs, increase the distance between the hearing aid and the device.

Connection to External Equipment

· The safety of the use of the hearing aid with an auxiliary input cable is determined by the external signal source. When the input cable is connected to equipment plugged into a wall outlet, this equipment must comply with IEC 60601,

IEC 60065 or equivalent safety standards.

45

46

Safety Information

· Hearing aids should be adjusted by a trained hearing care professional

· Never insert cleaning tools into the sound outlet or microphone inlet. This could damage the hearing aid.

· Remove your hearing aid before sleeping

· Keep your hearing aid in the case for protection when you are not wearing it

· Be aware of the possibility that the directional microphone in your hearing aid may reduce the volume of some warning sounds coming from behind you

International Warranty

Your hearing aid is covered by an international limited warranty issued by the manufacturer from the date of delivery.

This limited warranty covers manufacturing and material defects in the hearing aid itself, but not accessories such as batteries, tubing, ear wax filters etc. Problems arising from improper handling or care, excessive use, accidents, repairs made by an unauthorized party, exposure to corrosive conditions, physical changes in your ear, damage due to foreign objects entering the device, or incorrect adjustments are NOT covered by the limited warranty and may void it.

The above warranty does not affect any legal rights that you might have under applicable national legislation governing sale of consumer goods. Your hearing care professional may have issued a warranty that goes beyond the clauses of this limited warranty.

Please consult him/her for further information.

If you need service

Take your hearing aid to your hearing care professional, who may be able to sort out minor problems and adjustments immediately.

✼

Do not attempt to repair your hearing aid yourself.

Mobile Phone

Some hearing aid users have reported a buzzing sound in their hearing aid when they are using mobile phones, indicating that the mobile phone and hearing aid may not be compatible.

The ANSI C63.19 standard determines the prediction of compatibility between a specific hearing aid and a mobile phone by adding the numerical value of the rating for the hearing aid immunity to the numerical value of the rating for the mobile phone emissions.

A sum of 4 would indicate that the combination of wireless device and hearing aid is usable; a combined rating that equals 5 would provide normal use; a combined rating of 6 or greater would indicate excellent performance.

Whereas all hearing aids have acoustic coupling, only the larger instruments have the physical space for telecoil (inductive) coupling. These two types of coupling have different rating scales (M1-M4 for acoustic coupling and T1-T4 for telecoil coupling, respectively) and both ratings are therefore relevant when predicting the compatibility of a particular instrument.

49

For a hearing aid with both acoustic coupling and telecoil coupling with a rating of M4/T2 and with a telephone rating of M3/T3, the combined rating is 7

(M4 + M3) for the acoustic coupling and 5

(T2 + T3) for the telecoil coupling. According to the guideline given above, both types of coupling will thereby be acceptable, with the acoustic coupling indicating excellent performance and the telecoil coupling indicating normal use. The above equipment performance measurements, categories and system classifications are based upon the best information available, but it cannot be guaranteed that all users will be satisfied.

The immunity of all Bernafon hearing instrument models covered by these instructions for use is at least M2.

50

I M P O R TA N T N O T I C E

The performance of individual hearing instruments may vary with individual cell phones. Therefore, please try this hearing instrument with your mobile phone or, if you are purchasing a new phone, be sure to try it with your hearing instrument prior to purchase. For additional guidance, please ask your cell phone provider for the booklet entitled

“Hearing Aid Compatibility with Digital Wireless

Cell Phones”.

Technical Information

The hearing aid contains a radio transmitter using short range magnetic induction technology working at 3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the transmitter is < –42 dBμA/m @ 10m.
