AUDIBEL Fall Detection and Alerts System
How it Works
Once the Fall Detection and Alert system is active, a fall can be
automatically detected, or a Manual Alert can be initiated by the user.
Reference Fall Detection and Alert Setup QuickTIP for more information on
achieving an active system.

If a fall is automatically detected or a Manual Alert is initiated by the user with the push and hold user control, the timer will start. The timer will count down from 60 seconds or 90 seconds depending on the user-selected preference in the Fall Alert settings within My Audibel.
Notifications will show on the lock screen after a fall is detected or a Manual Alert is initiated.

Fall Alert Notifications are not a Substitute for Emergency Services and
will not Contact
Emergency Services
Fall Alert notifications are merely a tool that may assist in communicating certain information to one or more third-party contacts the user has identified. My Audibel does not communicate with emergency services or provide emergency assistance in any way and is not a substitute for contacting professional emergency services. The operation of My Audibel’s fall-detection features depends on wireless connectivity for both the user and the user’s designated contact(s), and the feature will not successfully deliver a message if Bluetooth® or cellular connectivity is lost or interrupted at any point in the communication pathway. Connectivity can be lost under a number of circumstances, such as: a paired mobile device is out of range of the hearing aid(s) or otherwise loses connectivity with the hearing aid(s); the hearing aids or mobile device are not turned on or sufficiently powered; a mobile device is in airplane mode; a mobile device malfunctions; or if bad weather interrupts a mobile device’s network connectivity.
Fall Alert Feature is a General Wellness Product (Not Regulated as a Medical Device)
The Fall Alert feature is designed and distributed as a General Wellness product. The Fall Alert feature is not designed or in any way intended to detect, diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any specific disease or particular, medical condition and is not targeted to any specific or particular population. Rather, the Fall Alert feature is designed only to detect that a user may have fallen and try to send a text message in response to such an event, in support of the user’s general health.
Additional information can be found in the operations manual that comes with the hearing aid and the My Audibel End User License Agreement, which is available in My Audibel and must be read and agreed to before using My Audibel.
