I read this in the Kobo Vox Guide - re: danger warning/hearing aids

Under the Legal Notes at the end of the book, something to the effect of 'Keep the reader away from medical devices such as pace makers and hearing aids... may cause death or explosion'.

I can understand the pace maker (which I don't have) warning, but I don't understand the hearing aid issue (would they mean only digital and not analogue?). I do wear a hearing aid although I haven't switched over to digital technology yet, but I will be soon. Is this dangerous ie. will I,um, explode or something?

Also another thing I noticed in the legal issues was the radiation warnings, and to keep the vox a certain distance from the body. I won't be reading with the wifi on, but then I'm not really used to reading with this backlit screen.

I'm probably one of the few that worries about these things.
