IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICES 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 assure 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. The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser 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 aid dispensers 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. A hearing aid dispenser should advise a prospective hearing aid user to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist) before dispensing a hearing aid if the hearing aid dispenser determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other available information concerning the prospective user, that the prospective user has any of the following conditions: • Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear. • History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days. • History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days. • Acute or chronic dizziness. • Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days. • Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz. • Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal. • Pain or discomfort in the ear • Hearing Aids are not designed to restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. • In most cases, infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain 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 instruction in lip reading. • Do not attempt to use a hearing aid in a method not instructed within the accompanying manual. • Our hearing aids are not suitable for use by anyone under age 18. • Keep hearing aid out of reach of infants, children and pets as it may cause a choking or ingestion hazard. • Keep hearing aid away from moisture, direct sunlight, humidity, dust and heat such as a vehicle glove compartment, hair dryer, tanning bed, heat lamp, windowsill, etc. Store in its case, at room temperature, when not in use. • Do not wear hearing aid while sleeping, participating in vigorous exercise or other physical activity, showering/bathing, washing your hair, swimming, or engaging in any other activity during which hearing aid may get wet. • It is recommended that you do not wear hearing aid during any activity that calls for the use of hearing protection. • Due to the radio frequency interference caused by digital cell phones, you may not be able to use any hearing aid with a mobile phone. If, while wearing Device, you experience buzzing or other noises when using your cell phone, we recommend that you refrain from using this Device with a mobile phone or other devices that emit radio waves. • Avoid using hairspray or other hair care products while wearing hearing aid. • BATTERY INGESTION – Hearing aid contains a small rechargeable battery that if ingested may get lodged in the esophagus where it can cause severe burns, perforation of the esophagus, stricture formation and occasionally death. While most button cells pass through the body and are eliminated in the stool, an x-ray must be obtained immediately to ensure that the battery has gone through the esophagus into the stomach. If anyone swallows a battery you, your physician or emergency room staff should immediately call the National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline at 202.625.3333. The hotline is operated 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. DO NOT GIVE IPECAC. CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS - In addition to seeing a physician for a 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 the educational and social growth of a child.
