General Warnings - oticon sensei BTE312 Instructions For Use Manual

Warnings
You should familiarise yourself fully with the following general warnings before using your
hearing aid for your personal safety and to ensure correct use.
Please note that a hearing aid will not restore normal hearing and will not prevent or improve
a hearing impairment resulting from organic conditions. Furthermore, note that in most cases,
infrequent use of a hearing aid does not permit a user to attain full benefit from it.
Consult your hearing care professional if you experience unexpected operations or events with
your hearing aid.
Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids 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 aid, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards & risk of swallowing batteries and other small parts
Hearing aids, their parts, and batteries should be kept out of reach of children and anyone who
might swallow these items or otherwise cause injury to themselves.

Warnings
Batteries have occasionally been mistaken for pills. Therefore, check your medicine carefully
before swallowing any pills.
Most hearing aids can be supplied with a tamper-resistant battery drawer upon request. This is
strongly recommended for infants, small children, and people with learning difficulties.
Children younger than 36 months must always use a tamper-resistant battery drawer. Please talk
to your hearing care professional about the availability of this option.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
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, and never dispose of batteries by burning them. There
is a risk that the batteries will explode.
