Precautions
• The use of hearing devices is only part of hearing
rehabilitation; auditory training and lip reading
instruction may be required as well.
• In most cases, infrequent use of hearing devices does
not provide full benefit. Once you have become
accustomed to your hearing devices, wear your
hearing devices everyday all day.
• Your hearing devices use the most modern
components to provide the best possible sound
quality in every listening situation. However,
communication devices such as digital cell phones
can create interference (a buzzing sound) in hearing
devices. If you experience interference from a cell
phone being used close by, you can minimize this
interference in a number of ways. Switch your hearing
devices to another program, turn your head in a
different direction or locate the cell phone and move
away from it.
Labeling
For most ITE hearing devices, the year of manufacture is
located above the serial number. The first two digits
indicate the year of manufacture.
