swallow these items.
Discard batteries safely. Keep discarded batteries
out of sight of infants, small children, vulnerable
persons, and pets.
Clean your hearing aid (including parts) on a regular
basis, as recommended by your hearing care

and vulnerable persons.
Be aware of the possibility that your hearing aid 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 aid may reduce the
volume of some warning sounds coming from
behind you.
Remove your hearing aid before applying aftershave,
hairspray, oils, perfume, mosquito repellent, lotions,
etc. If your hearing aid is exposed to such a product,
allow the product to dry before you put your hearing
