Why hearing is important

Children need all of their senses to discover and expe-

rience the world. Hearing is not only mandatory for a

proper speech and language acquisition, but also has a

major influence on a child’s mental, social and emotional

development.

First hearing instruments

If your baby receives its first hearing instruments, they

will be in the beginning considered as foreign objects. It is

absolutely normal that the child will pull out the hearing

instruments every once in a while, as it is curious and will

possibly examine them very carefully.

Give your child some time to get used to the hearing

instruments and to feel the benefit in wearing them.

If it does not accept them, do not enforce wearing the

hearing instruments but try to provide them consistently.

Nevertheless, always keep in mind that if a child does not

accept his or her hearing instruments over a longer period

of time, this might also have other reasons. Contact your

Hearing Care Professional to check the child’s hearing as

well as the hearing instrument fitting and performance.

For further information on hearing, hearing loss and

hearing instruments for children, please check out our

NOTICE

Hearing instruments are sensitive to extreme heat, high

humidity, strong magnetic fields (>0.1T), X-rays and

mechanical stress.

Do not expose the hearing instrument to extreme

temperature or high humidity.

Do not leave it in direct sunlight.

Do not wear it in the shower or when you applyX

make-up, perfume, aftershave, hairspray or suntan

lotion.

Do not wear the hearing instrument when you are ex-

posed to short-waves, a strong magnetic field, a high

frequency field or X-rays.

NOTICE

Turn the hearing instrument off when not in use to

preserve the battery.

Leaking batteries damage the instrument. Remove

batteries when the instrument is not in use for a pro-

longed period of time.

WARNING

Risk in explosive environments, e.g. mining areas!

Don't use the hearing instruments (and remote con-

trol) in areas where there is a danger of explosions.
