WARNING
• Be aware that the use of tinnitus devices may involve a slight-
ly increased risk of infection in the ear canal. An infection can
arise as a result of inadequate ventilation of the ear. We there-
fore recommend that you remove the device and ear-set from
your ear at night to allow the ear canal to be ventilated. Make
sure that you clean and inspect your device and ear-set as re-
quired. If an infection occurs, you should seek medical atten-
tion and contact your hearing care professional for advice on
how to disinfect the various device parts. Do not under any
circumstances use alcohol, chlorine or similar substances.
• Regular use of a de-humidifier is recommended to help avoid
malfunction of the hearing aid.
• Do not use Widex tinnitus devices in mines or other areas with
explosive gases.
• Do not wear your device during radiation, X-rays, MRIs, CT
or other medical treatments and scans. The emissions from
these procedures as well as from other types of radiation,
such as that in a microwave oven, can damage your device.
Radiation from, for example, room surveillance equipment,
burglar alarms and mobile phones is weaker and will not dam-
age the device but may create audible interference.
