Read the User Guide before using the iHEARMAX™.
Infrequent use of a hearing device does not permit a
user to attain full benet from it. Hearing device will not restore
normal hearing and will not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic conditions.

The iHEARMAX is a behind the ear hearing aid intended for adults
with mild to severe hearing loss who need hearing enhancement
and is not to be worn by individuals under the age of 18. The
Food and Drug Administration has determined that it is in your
best health interest to have a medical evaluation by a physician
(preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear)
before purchasing a hearing aid. The purpose of a medical
evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that
may aect hearing are identied and treated before a hearing aid
is purchased. Following the medical evaluation, the physician
can give you a written statement (medical clearance) that states
that your hearing health has been evaluated and that you may be
considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician may refer
you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, for a hearing aid
evaluation. You may also send (by mail, fax, or e-mail) the signed
medical clearance to iHear Medical for the purpose of purchasing
a hearing aid. Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to
those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a
physician. Federal law also permits a fully informed adult to sign
a medical waiver statement declining the medical evaluation. The
exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its
use is discouraged. iHear Medical will not sell a hearing device to
you unless you either (1) obtain a signed medical clearance, or (2)
review and accept the medical waiver statement.

it can do is improve your existing hearing ability.
• The use of a hearing device will not cause further hearing loss,
nor will it stop the progression of any further hearing loss.
• At rst you may notice sounds in your environment that you
have not heard in a while which may be disturbing. Soon your
brain will adapt to the sounds around you.
• For some, full adaptation to amplication can take up to 3
months of consistent wear.
• Optimal listening distance, even for someone who hears nor-
mally, is about 3-10 feet. It’s especially important to remember
this while adapting to amplication.
