Disposal Guidelines
Hearing instrument
· Consult your dispenser where you
purchased your hearing aid for advice on
how to dispose of your hearing instrument.
Make sure that the hearing instrument
is disposed of properly, so the waste will
undergo necessary treatment, recovery
and recycling and thus prevent potential
negative effects on the environment and
human health.
Battery disposal
· For battery disposal, follow the battery
disposal guidance based on the current
United States federal laws and regulations.
Many states have regulations in place
requiring some form of battery recycling.
The regulations of some states may require
recycling for certain types of batteries
different than other states. If you are
using batteries outside the United States,
other nations may regulate waste based
on different criteria. Confirm the status of
batteries in the nation where disposal occurs.
