Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
The hazard
GN Hearing received reports from our manufacturing site in US regarding a software bug in our service & repair tool which affected the capture and restoration of user data in a limited number of repaired hearing aids. The software bug caused these repaired hearing aids to contain altered specifications for sound amplification, potentially putting users residual hearing at risk of experiencing unintended additional available gain to varying degrees i.a.18dB flat linear gain or potentially in worst case Full On Gain. However, no injuries have been reported.
