traffic). The hearing aids may stop
functioning, for instance if the bat-
teries have expired or if the tubing
is blocked by moisture or ear wax.

Active implants

implants. In general, follow the
guidelines recommended by manu-
facturers of implantable defibrilla-
tors and pacemakers regarding use
with mobile phones and magnets.
