avoiding heat and chemicals
Your hearing instrument must never be exposed to extreme heat, e.g., left inside
a parked car in the sun. It must not be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens.
If moisture is present, wipe the batteries carefully with a dry cloth to ensure optimal
performance.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, aftershave lotion, suntan lotion and
insect repellent can damage your hearing instrument. You should always remove your
hearing instrument before applying such products and allow time for the product to dry
before putting on your hearing instrument.
If you use lotion, ensure that you dry your hands before handling your hearing
instrument.
