You should familiarise yourself fully
with the following general warnings
before using your hearing aid for your
personal safety and to ensure correct
use.
Please note that a hearing aid will
not restore normal hearing and will
not prevent or improve a hearing
impairment resulting from organic
conditions. Furthermore, note that in
most cases, infrequent use of a hearing
aid does not permit a user to attain full
benet from it.
Consult your hearing care professional
if you experience unexpected
operations or events with your hearing
aid.
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 & risk of swallowing
batteries
• Hearing aids, their parts, and
batteries should be kept out of reach
of children and anyone who might
swallow these items, or otherwise
cause injury to themselves.
• 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
diculties.
• Children below 36 months must
always use a tamper-resistant
battery drawer. This option is
available in BTE, miniBTE, RITE and
miniRITE hearing aids.
If a battery or hearing aid is swallowed,
see a doctor immediately.
Battery use
• Always use batteries recommended
by your hearing care professional.
Batteries of low quality may leak and
cause bodily harm.
• Never attempt to recharge your
batteries and never dispose of
batteries by burning them. There is a
risk that the batteries will explode.
