Warnings

You should familiarise yourself fully
with the following general warnings
before using your hearing aid for per-
sonal safety and to secure correct use.
Please note that a hearing aid will not
restore normal hearing and will not
prevent or improve a hearing impair-
ment 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 opera-
tions or events with your hearing aid.
36 About Start up Handling Options
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 use could
cause permanent damage to their
hearing.
Choking hazards & risk of swallowing
batteries or other small parts
• Hearing aids, their parts, and bat-
teries should be kept out of reach
of children and anyone who might
swallow these items, or otherwise
cause injury to themselves.
Warnings More info
• Batteries have occasionally been
mistaken for pills. Therefore, check
your medicine carefully before swal-
lowing any pills.
• Most hearing aids can be supplied
with a tamper-resistant battery
drawer upon request. This is strong-
ly 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 bat-
teries and never dispose of batteries
by burning them. There is a risk that
the batteries will explode.
