The hearing amplier can neither prevent nor alleviate organically caused hearing loss. The hearing amplier oers you a variety of applications. Regardless of whether you want to watch a lm, chat with friends or just feel like listening to the sounds of nature in the woods, the hearing amplier helps you to hear sounds louder and more clearly.

WARNING AND SAFETY NOTES

The settings of the hearing amplier should only be adjusted by a trained expert, for example an ENT specialist, an audiologist or a qualied hearing amplier retailer. In the event of an existing or previous ear problem, you should consult your doctor before using the hearing amplier. The device must NOT be used for patients suering from an ear inammation or infection. Do NOT use the hearing amplier if you are suering from an inammation of the middle ear or ear canal. If you feel unwell or experience pain when wearing the hearing amplier, stop using it immediately and contact your doctor. If your ear becomes inamed or your skin irritated or you experience an increased accumulation of ear wax when wearing the hearing amplier, stop using it immediately and contact your doctor.

Use of the hearing amplier results in discharge from the ear and/or necessitates ear treatment.

• Sudden, signicant decrease in hearing ability. If parts of the hearing amplier become stuck in the ear, seek medical attention immediately. Do not attempt to remove the parts yourself. At rst, set the volume to a low setting and increase it gradually once you have become accustomed to the hearing amplier. Do NOT set the volume control too high, as this may cause further damage to hearing over an extended period of time. This is particularly important to note, as the device achieves a high output power. Do NOT lend your hearing amplier to others or use the hearing ampliers of others, as there is a risk of hearing damage and infection. Do NOT pass on your hearing amplier for use by other persons. The use of a hearing amplier that was designed for someone else may cause hearing damage.
