Choking hazards & risk of swallowing batteries
and other small parts
· Hearing aid(s), 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.
· Batteries have occasionally been mistaken
for pills. Therefore, check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills.
· Most hearing aid(s) 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. Contact the National
Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 or National
Battery Ingestion Hotline at 202-625-3333.
