Protecting Your Hearing Aids - Unitron Stride P Pro Manual

Important information
The tinnitus masker generates sounds that are
used as part of your personalized temporary
tinnitus management program to provide
relief from tinnitus. It should always be
used as prescribed by a hearing healthcare
professional who is familiar with the diagnosis
and treatment of tinnitus.
Good health practice requires that a person
reporting tinnitus have a medical evaluation by
a licensed ear physician before using a sound
generator. The purpose of such an evaluation
is to ensure that medically treatable conditions,
which may be causing tinnitus, are identified
and treated prior to using a sound generator.
The tinnitus masker is intended for adults 18
years of age or older who have both hearing
loss and tinnitus.

Protecting your hearing aids

Open the battery door when not in use.
•
Always remove your hearing aids when using
•
hair care products. The hearing aids can
become clogged and cease to function properly.
Do not wear your hearing aids in the bath or
•
shower or immerse them in water.
If your hearing aids do become wet, do not
•
attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave. Do
not adjust any controls. Open the battery doors
immediately, and allow your hearing aids to dry
naturally for 24 hours.
Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat
•
(hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard).
Ensure you do not twist or squeeze the wire
•
when your hearing aids are placed in their case.
Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a Dri-Aid
•
kit, can help prevent corrosion and prolong the
life of your hearing aids.
Do not drop your hearing aids or knock them
•
against hard surfaces.
