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 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. Batter-
ies of low quality may leak and cause
bodily harm.
Never attempt to recharge your batter-
ies 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 ear wax.
