Hearing instruments and batteries
can be dangerous if swallowed
● Hearing instruments, their parts,
and batteries are not toys and
should be kept out of reach of
children and anyone who might
swallow these items or other-
wise cause injury to themselves.
● Never change the battery or
adjust the controls of the hear-
ing instruments in front of
infants, small children or people
with learning difficulties.
● Discard batteries carefully in a
place where infants, small
children or people with learning
difficulties cannot reach them.
● Always check your medicine
before swallowing it, as batteries
have occasionally been mis-
taken for pills.
● Never put your hearing instru-
ments or batteries in your
mouth for any reason, as they
are slippery and could be
swallowed by accident.
