Congratulations on your new hearing aid.Use your hearing aid regularly, even if it takes some time getting used to it.

Important safety information
7
Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used improperly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact your local emergency number or hospital immediately.Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you suspect you may have an ear infection or an allergic reaction.Contact your hearing care professional if the hearing aid doesn't feel comfortable, or if it doesn't fit properly, causing irritation, redness or the like.Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair dryer.Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion or cream.Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.Never use other peopleâs hearing aids and never allow others to use yours, as this could damage your hearing.Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be explosive gases, such as in mines, etc.Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from children and mentally disabled people.Never try to open or repair the hearing aid yourself. Contact your hearing care professional if you need to have your hearing aid repaired.Your hearing aids contain radio communication technology. Always observe the environment in which you are using them. If any restrictions apply, you must take precautions to comply with these.Your device has been designed to comply with international electromagnetic compatibility standards. However, it cannot be excluded that it may cause interference with other electrical equipment. If you experience interference, keep a distance to other electrical equipment.Your hearing aid is very powerful and it can play sounds that exceed a level of 132 dB. There may therefore be a risk of damaging your remaining hearing.Do not expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures or high humidity, and dry them quickly if they get wet, or if you perspire heavily.Please note that streaming sound to your hearing aids at a high volume can prevent you from hearing other important sounds such as alarms and traffic noise. In such situations make sure to keep the volume of the streamed sound at a suitable level.Your hearing aids should be stored and transported within the temperature and humidity ranges of -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and 10%-95% rH.Your hearing aids are designed to operate within the temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure ranges of 0°C (32°F) to 50°C (122°F), 10%-95% rH and 750 to 1060 mBar.You can find technical data sheets and additional information on your hearing aids on https://global.widex.com.
