General Warnings For All Hearing Aids - Philips HearLink Series User Manual

General warnings for all
hearing aids
You should familiarize yourself fully with the
following general warnings before using your
hearing aid for your personal safety and to
ensure correct use.
Please note that a hearing aid will not restore
normal hearing and will not prevent or
improve a hearing impairment resulting from
organic conditions. Furthermore, note that in
most cases, infrequent use of a hearing aid
does not permit a user to attain full benefit
from it.
Consult your hearing care professional if you
experience unexpected operations or events
with your hearing aid.
Usage of hearing aids
• Hearing aids should be used only as
directed and adjusted by your hearing care
professional. Misuse can result in sudden
and permanent hearing loss.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing aid,
as incorrect usage could cause permanent
damage to their hearing.
