Warnings
General warnings
For your personal safety and to ensure correct usage, you should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings before using your hearing aid.
Consult your hearing care professional if you experience unexpected operations or serious incidents with your hearing aid during use or because of its use. Your hearing care professional will support you with issue handling and, if relevant, reporting to the manufacturer and/or the national authorities.
Please note that a hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Hearing aid is only a part of hearing habilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lipreading. Furthermore, note that in most cases, infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full benefit from it.
This hearing aid is supported by a nonremovable rechargeable lithium-ion battery cell. Please ensure to charge the hearing aid and familiarize yourself with the safety and handling information related to rechargeable hearing aids.
Do not try to get access to the battery inserted in the hearing instrument. The battery must only be replaced by your hearing care professional.
Only charge the hearing aid with a designated charger. Other chargers risk destroying the hearing aid and battery.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
54 About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info

60 About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a hearing aid whose maximum sound pressure capability exceeds 132 dB
SPL as there may be risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the hearing aid user.
Important notice for prospective hearing aid users
Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician
(preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as Otolaryngologists, Otologists or Otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of medical evaluation is to ensure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been medically evaluated and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician will refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.

General warnings
The audiologist or hearing care professional will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs. If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial, rental or purchase-option program.
Many hearing care professionals now offer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee, after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid. Federal law limits the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician.
Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged. A hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. A hearing aid is only part of hearing rehabilitation and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and lip reading.
62 About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus Warnings More info
Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation, since hearing loss may cause problems in language development and educational and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss. If the user is an infant, small child, or person of mental incapacity, it is recommended that the hearing aid be modified with a tamper-resistant battery compartment.

Technical information
The hearing aid contains the following two radio technologies:
The hearing aid contains a radio transceiver using short range magnetic induction technology operating at 3.84 MHz. The magnetic field strength of the transmitter is very weak and always below 15 nW (typically below –40 dBμA/m (–12.20 dBμA/ft) at
10 meters (33 feet) distance).
The hearing aid also contains a radio transceiver using Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) and a proprietary short-range radio technology, both operating at ISM band
2.4 GHz. The radio transmitter is weak and always below 9 mW equal to 9.6 dBm in total radiated power.
The hearing aid complies with international standards concerning electromagnetic compatibility and human exposure. Only use your hearing aid in areas where wireless transmission is permitted.
Due to the limited space available on the hearing aid, relevant approval markings can be found in this booklet. Additional information can be found in the Specification Guide on www.sonici.comcom
USA and Canada
This device contains a radio module
(DA AU5 MNR R) with the following certification ID numbers:
FCC ID: 2ACAHAU5MRTRC
IC: 11936A-AU5MRTRC

FCC rules and with Innovation, Science and
Economic Development Canada’s licenseexempt RSSs standards. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
71
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 at least 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 hearing aids 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 hearing aid.
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 guidelines given above, both types of coupling will thereby be acceptable, with the acoustic coupling indicating excellent performance and the telecoil coupling indicating normal use.
