Usage of hearing aids
Hearing aids should be used only as
directed and adjusted by your hearing care
professional. Misuse can result in sudden
and permanent hearing loss.
Never allow others to wear your hearing
aid, as incorrect usage could cause
permanent damage to their hearing.
Choking hazards and risk of swallowing
small parts
Hearing aids and their parts should be kept
out of reach of children and anyone who
might swallow these items or otherwise
cause injury to themselves.
If a hearing aid or small part is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately and contact your
provincial poison control centre.
Explosives
The hearing aid is safe to use under
normal usage conditions. The hearing
aid has not been tested for compliance
with international standards concerning
explosive environments.
Therefore, do not use the hearing aid in
environments with danger of explosions
e.g. mines, oxygen rich environments or
areas where flammable anaesthetics are
handled.
Fatality hazards and risk of swallowing
lithium-ion batteries or placing them in
the ear or nose
Never swallow lithium-ion batteries nor
place them in the ear or the nose as this
may lead to serious injury or death in as
little as two hours. This can be due to
chemical burns, which can permanently
damage the nose or ear or potentially lead
to perforation of the inner organs. If a
lithium-ion battery is swallowed or placed
in the ear or nose, seek emergency medical
treatment immediately.
