Storing your hearing aids

1. The best storage for your hearing aids is the

case they came in.

2. When they are not being worn,

keep your hearing aids dry by
leaving the battery doors open.

WARNING:

•

Never put a hearing aid battery in your mouth.

•

Keep hearing aid batteries away from pets, children and people with cognitive, intellectual or mental
health challenges.

•

Never swallow batteries nor place them inside any part of the body, as the battery can cause serious
injuries. If a battery has been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical
attention.
