Warnings
You should familiarize 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 benefit 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.
Warnings More info
• 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 difficulties.
• 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.
