Choking hazards of swallowing small
parts
Keep all small parts (for example, hearing
aids, earpieces, batteries, etc.) out of reach
and sight of children and others who might
swallow these items. Seek emergency
medical treatment immediately if someone
is choking on small parts or batteries are
swallowed.
If a battery, hearing aid or small part is
swallowed, see a doctor immediately
and contact the National Poison Center
at 1-800-222-1222 or National Battery
Ingestion Hotline at 1-800-498-8666.
Keep away from environments with risk
of explosions
Your hearing aids are safe to use under
normal usage conditions. The hearing
aid has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning
explosive environments.
Do not use the hearing aid in environments
with danger of explosions such as mines,
oil fields, oxygen rich environments or
areas where flammable anesthetics are
handled.
Fatality hazards of swallowing batteries
Never swallow batteries. Doing so can lead
to serious injury or death within hours.
Swallowed batteries can cause burns that
may perforate inner organs. Keep the
batteries out of reach and sight of children
and others who might swallow them.
Batteries have occasionally been mistaken
for pills. Therefore, check your medicine
carefully before swallowing any pills. Seek
emergency medical treatment immediately
if a battery is swallowed.
