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.
