Product Information
The HAT6018 Sound Amplifier is a portable device designed to enhance the volume and clarity of sound. It comes with a charging case, a Type-C cable for charging, eartips of different sizes, and a user manual. The sound amplifier features a touch panel for control, a horn hole for sound output, and LED indicators for status notification. It also has a microphone port for capturing audio. The sound amplifier has several volume levels, ranging from mini volume (no amplifier effect) to max volume. It can be turned on by opening the charging case and taking out the sound amplifier. Once turned on, it takes 2 seconds for the amplifier effect to take place. To turn off the sound amplifier, press the touch panel on any sound amplifier for 6 seconds. The volume can be adjusted by tapping the touch panel or pressing the volume control buttons on the charging case. The sound amplifier has multiple modes, including Normal mode, Outdoor mode, TV mode, and Conversation mode. The mode can be changed by pressing the touch panel for 2 seconds. Long pressing the touch panel for 6 seconds will cycle through the available modes. The set mode has a memory function, so it will be remembered for future use. The sound amplifier has a battery indicator for each sound amplifier (left and right) and can be charged by placing it back into the charging case. The charging case has a USB Type-C charging port and an indicator to display the charging status.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PROSPECTIVE SOUND AMPLIFIER USERS
Good health practice requires that a person with hearing loss have a
medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who
specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a sound amplifier.
Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred
to as otolaryngologists, otologists, or otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of
the medical evaluation is to ensure that all medically treatable conditions
that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the sound amplifier
is purchased.
Warning to sound amplifier dispensers
A sound amplifier dispenser should advise a prospective sound amplifier user
to consult promptly with a licensed physician (preferably an ear specialist)
before dispensing a sound amplifier if the sound amplifier dispenser
determines through inquiry, actual observation, or review of any other
available information concerning the prospective user, that the prospective
user has any of the following conditions:
- Visible congenital or traumatic deformity of the ear.
- History of active drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days.
- History of sudden or rapidly progressive hearing loss within the previous 90 days.
- Acute or chronic dizziness.
- Unilateral hearing loss of sudden or recent onset within the previous 90 days.
- Audiometric air-bone gap equal to or greater than 15 decibels at 500 hertz (Hz), 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz.
- Visible evidence of significant cerumen accumulation or a foreign body in the ear canal.
- Pain or discomfort in the ear.
Special care should be exercised in selecting and fitting a sound amplifier whose maximum sound pressure level exceeds 132 decibels because there may be a risk of impairing the remaining hearing of the sound amplifier user. (This provision is required only for those sound amplifiers with a maximum sound pressure capability greater than 132 decibels (dB).)
