WARNING
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swal lowed or used
improperly . Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury
or even fatalities . In case of ingestion, contact a physician immedi-
ately and the 24 Hour National Button Battery Ingestion Hotline at
(202) 625-3333 .
• Keep hearing aids and their parts, accessories and batteries out of
reach of children and anyone else who might swallow such items or
otherwise cause injury to themselves. Do not change batteries in
front of them and do not let them see where you keep your battery
supply. Discard used batteries carefully.
• Batteries are very small and can easily be mistaken for pills or the
like. Never put a battery or hearing aid in your mouth for any reason
as you may risk swallowing it.
• Clean and inspect your hearing aid after use to check that it is intact.
If the hearing aid breaks while in the ear canal, contact your hear-
ing care professional immediately. Do not try to remove the parts
yourself.
