Maintenance and Care
Hearing instruments should be cleaned daily. You can wipe
them with a tissue or a soft cloth. Do not use water, alcohol,
benzene, or any other liquid or household cleaning agent to
clean your instruments as it may cause damage to them.
Always store your hearing instruments inside the case. A
soft carrying pouch is also included for your convenience
when traveling.
Remove the batteries to prevent damage from corrosion
when storing hearing instruments for an extended period.
Store the instruments in a dry area, preferably at room
temperature. If you perspire heavily or live in an area of
high humidity, you may find it beneficial to use a DRI-AID™
kit when the instruments are not in use. This product can be
purchased from your Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider.
CAUTION
Never immerse your hearing instruments in water!
Note: Your hearing instrument is sensitive to extreme heat, high
humidity, strong magnetic fields (>0.1T), X-rays and
mechanical stress.
