You should familiarize yourself fully with the following general warnings and the entire
content of this booklet before using your hearing instrument.
Use of hearing instruments
• Hearing instruments should be used only as directed and adjusted by your Hearing
Care Professional. Misuse can result in sudden and permanent hearing loss.
• Never allow others to wear your hearing instrument, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards
• Hearing instruments, their parts and batteries are not toys and should be kept out of
reach of children and anyone who might swallow these items or otherwise cause injury
to themselves.
• Never replace the battery or adjust the controls of the hearing instrument in front of
infants, small children or people with learning difficulties.
• Discard batteries carefully in a place where infants, small children or people with
learning difficulties cannot reach them.
Warnings
10
• Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
• Never put your hearing instrument or batteries in your mouth for any reason, as they
are slippery and could be swallowed by accident.
• Most hearing instruments can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery door upon
request. This is strongly recommended for infants, small children, and people with
learning difficulties.
If a battery or hearing instrument is swallowed, see a doctor immediately and contact
the National Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 or the National Battery Ingestion Hotline
at 1-202-625-3333.
Battery use
• Always use batteries recommended by your Hearing Care Professional. Batteries of
low quality may leak and cause bodily harm.
• Never attempt to recharge your batteries. They may explode and cause serious injury.
• Never dispose of batteries by burning them. There is a risk that they will explode and
cause serious injury.
