FAQ for Everyday Life

Listening to story

Do I have to take the sound processor off when I go to my hairdresser?
Yes, remove the sound processor before any activity – such as cutting or shearing – that could possibly damage it. Additionally, some of the chemical products that hairdressers use may damage the sound processor.

Can I keep the sound processor on while I’m taking part in sports activities?
Yes, you can. If possible try to use the safety line. But remember that some sports increase the risk of damage to both the sound processor and the fixture.  If there is a strong chance that the sound processor may come into physical contact with another person or be hit by a ball or other object, remove the sound processor to ensure it is not damaged.
