charm · USer guide BTE and miniBTE 09 Congratulations on your purchase! With a little practice, you will soon be on your way to better hearing. The amplification of sound provided by your hearing instruments was adjusted by your hearing care provider to the needs of your individual hearing loss. Please read the entire contents of this booklet before using your hearing instruments. It contains instructions and important information about the use and handling of your hearing instruments and batteries.
sonic · charm General Warnings and Safety Guidelines Hearing instruments and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or improperly used. Such actions can result in severe injury, permanent hearing loss or even fatality. Familiarize yourself completely with the following general warnings and safety guidelines before using your hearing instruments. Hazard warnings Never allow others to wear your hearing instruments.
charm · USer guide BTE and miniBTE 11 Clean your hearing instruments and their parts on a regular basis as recommended. Micro-organisms from unclean instruments may cause skin irritations. Be careful with leaking battery liquid, as it is a hazardous substance. Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Be aware of the possibility that your hearing instruments may stop functioning without notice. Keep this in mind while you circulate in traffic or otherwise depend on warning sounds.
sonic · charm Warnings to hearing care provider and patient Special care should be taken when fitting and using a hearing instrument with maximum sound pressure capability in excess of 132 dB SPL (IEC 60318-4) since there may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the patient. When the DAI is connected to AC-powered equipment, this equipment must comply with IEC-60601-1 or equivalent safety standards.
charm · USer guide BTE and miniBTE 13 Safety information ·· Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your trained hearing care provider. Misuse or improper adjustments can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
sonic · charm ·· Never insert cleaning tools into the microphone inlet or deeply into the sound outlet. This could damage the hearing instruments. ·· Do not expose hearing instruments to extreme heat by leaving them in the car, near a radiator, etc. ·· Avoid exposing your instruments to water and moisture i.e., steambaths, showers, heavy rain, etc.
charm · USer guide BTE and miniBTE 15 Hearing Expectations Set appropriate expectations It is important that you have the right expectations regarding your hearing instruments. Hearing instruments can help you hear and understand better, but they are not a cure for hearing loss. People whose expectations are too high (“I thought they would make my hearing normal”) are likely to be disappointed and may give up.
sonic · charm Be patient Unlike with eyeglasses which correct your vision as soon as you first put them on, with hearing instruments you will need some time to adjust. It may take several weeks or months to completely adjust to your hearing instruments, so try to be patient. Initially, try different listening situations, such as one-on-one conversations with family and friends, and conversations with two or three people at home or in quiet settings.
charm · USer guide BTE and miniBTE 17 Consistent use of your hearing instrument is strongly recommended. In most cases, infrequent use does not allow you to obtain the full benefit from your device. The use of a hearing instrument is only a part of total hearing rehabilitation, and may need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in lipreading.
