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 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
batteries, and never dispose of batter-
ies 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.
Active implants
Caution must be taken with active
implants. In general, follow the guide-
lines recommended by manufacturers
of implantable defibrillators and
pacemakers regarding use with mobile
phones and magnets.
The Autophone magnet and MultiTool
(which has a built-in magnet) should
be kept a least 30 cm away from the
implant, e.g. do not carry it in a breast
pocket.
