• Do not wear your hearing aid during x-ray, MR
scans, CT scans, short-wave diathermy, or similar
radiation treatments and never place your hearing
aid in a microwave oven. These are some of the
types of radiation that can damage your hearing
aid. Radiation from, for example, room surveil-
lance equipment, burglar alarms, and cellular tele-
phones, is weaker and will not damage your hear-
ing aid, but may at times cause interference
noise.
• Widex hearing aids are not certified for use in
mines or other areas with explosive gases.
