INTENDED USE
INTENDED PURPOSE
The intended purpose of the hearing aids is to amplify sound
selectively and to transmit it to the ears of people with a hear-
ing disability (the hard of hearing) to compensate for their
hearing loss .
Use of the MICROSON Free ITC hearing aid is recommended
to compensate for mild to moderate hearing loss (mixed or
sensorineural). It is not recommended for children.
A hearing aid must be prescribed and adapted by a profes-
sional audiologist, who will programme it and adjust it spe-
cifically to the patient's hearing loss and morphology in a
completely personalised way. Hence using hearing aids not
prescribed by a professional or adapted for another person
may damage your hearing.
