Choking Hazards and Risk of Swallowing
Batteries
·
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. Ask your
hearing care professional if a tamper-resistant
battery drawer is available for your hearing aid.
If a battery or other small parts are swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
