Cleaning Your Hearing Instruments; Assistive Listening Devices; Warnings - Unitron Shine Guide D'utilisation

Cleaning your hearing instruments

Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your hearing
instruments are free of ear wax is an important step in
your daily cleaning and maintenance routine.
• Using the brush that was provided with your
hearing instruments, clean ear wax from your
hearing instruments everyday.
• Never use alcohol to clean your hearing instruments.
• Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing
instruments can seriously damage them.
• Talk to your hearing healthcare professional about
regular appointments to have the wax removed
from your hearing instruments.

Warnings

Hearing instruments should only be used as
directed by your physician or hearing healthcare
professional.
Hearing instruments will not restore normal hearing
and will not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic conditions.
Do not use your hearing instruments in explosion
hazard areas.
Allergic reactions to hearing instruments are unlikely.
However, if you experience itching, redness,
soreness, inflammation or a burning sensation in or
around your ears, inform your hearing healthcare
professional and contact your physician.
In the unlikely case that any parts remain in the ear
canal after the removal of the hearing instrument,
contact a physician immediately.
Remove your hearing instruments for CT and MRI
scans or for other electromagnetic procedures.
Special care should be exercised in wearing hearing
instruments when maximum sound pressure levels
exceed 132 decibels. There may be a risk of
impairing your remaining hearing. Speak with your
hearing healthcare professional to ensure the
maximum output of your hearing instruments is
suitable for your particular hearing loss.
