General warnings
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.
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 below 36 months must always
use a tamper-resistant battery drawer.
Please talk to your hearing care
professional about the availability.
54 About Start-up Handling Options Tinnitus
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.
Dysfunction
Be aware of the possibility that your
hearing aid may stop working without
notice. Keep this in mind when you
depend on warning sounds (e.g. when
you are in traffic). The hearing aids may
stop functioning, for instance if the
batteries have expired or if the tubing is
blocked by moisture or earwax.
