Keep your hearing instrument, parts, and batteries
out of the reach of infants, children, and anyone who
might swallow these items.
Discard batteries safely. Keep discarded
batteries out of sight of infants, small children,
vulnerable persons, and pets.
Clean your hearing instrument (including parts) on
a regular basis, as recommended by your hearing
care provider. Microorganisms from an
unclean hearing instrument may cause skin
irritations.
Be careful of leaking battery liquid. Battery liquid is
a hazardous substance.
Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

Never change the battery, or adjust the controls of
the hearing instrument, in front of infants, small
children, and vulnerable persons.
Be aware of the possibility that your hearing instru-
ment may stop working without notice. Keep this in
mind when you depend on warning sounds
(e.g., when you are in traffic).
Be aware of the possibility that the directional
microphone in your hearing instrument may reduce
the volume of some warning sounds coming from
behind you.
Remove your hearing instrument before applying
aftershave, hairspray, oils, perfume, mosquito
repellent, lotions, etc. If your hearing instrument is
exposed to such a product, allow the product to dry
before you put your hearing instrument on.
Warnings to Hearing Care Provider
and patient
Special care should be taken when fitting and
using a hearing instrument with maximum sound
pressure capability in excess of 132 dB SPL
(IEC 60318-4) since there may be a risk of
impairing the remaining hearing of the patient.
