Page 26: Handling Batteries
Handling batteries So-called zinc-air batteries are used today almost exclusively in hearing instruments to minimize environmental damage. These batteries require oxygen for operation, which they absorb from the air. The battery is activated as soon as the protective foil is pulled off and is used up even if you do not use your hearing instrument. -
Page 27: Notes For Cleaning And Care
Notes for cleaning and care Ear wax accumulates on your ear mould. This can lead to inflammation in your auditory canal if the instruments are not cleaned regularly. Therefore: It is essential to detach the ear mould from your behind- the-ear instrument and place it in a cleaning bath for at least 15 minutes. - Page 28 Two more tips: You should place your hearing instruments in a “dry bag“ with a special moisture-attracting capsule overnight. The drying capsule draws damaging moisture out of the instruments. Your hearing instrument specialist stocks the special care sets and dry bags you need to maintain your hearing instruments and keep them in good condition.

You’ve become much more familiar with the sounds in your daily environment. As an exercise read out aloud and concentrate on your own voice. 4th step Learn to understand the voices of others Wear the instrument when you speak with someone in your family.
