Important safety information
Read these pages carefully before you begin using your hearing aid.
Hearing aids and batteries can be dangerous if swallowed or used im-
properly. Swallowing or improper use can result in severe injury or even
fatalities. In case of ingestion, contact a doctor immediately. In case of in-
gestion, contact a doctor immediately and the 24 Hour National Button

Take your hearing aids out when you are not using them. This will help to
ventilate the ear canal and prevent ear infections.
Contact your doctor or hearing care professional immediately if you sus-
pect you may have an ear infection.
Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming or using a hair
dryer.
Do not wear your hearing aids when applying perfume, spray, gels, lotion
or cream.
Do not dry your hearing aid in a microwave oven - this will ruin it.
Never use other people’s hearing aids and never allow others to use
yours, as this could damage your hearing.
Never use your hearing aids in environments where there may be explo-
sive gases, such as in mines, etc.
Keep hearing aids, their parts, accessories and batteries away from chil-
dren.
