Keep small hearing aid batteries
away from children. These buttonlike batteries can easily be put in the ears, nose,
or
mouth. If they become stuck or are swallowed, acid from the battery can leak and burn
the inside of the ears, nose, throat, or stomach. Be sure to correctly store and dispose
of hearing aid batteries. If a battery is ingested, you can call the National Battery
Ingestion Hotline at 800-498-8666 or the Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222 for
more
information.
