Caring for your hearing aid
With proper care, your hearing aid will give you
years of reliable service. Here are some things
you can do to prolong the life of your aid:
Treat your hearing aid as the valuable object it is:
with care!
When not in use, keep it in its case at room tem-
perature in a dry location where it cannot be
reached by children or pets.
Never expose it to extreme temperatures or high
humidity.
Do not wear your aid in the shower or swimming,
or when using a hair dryer, hair spray, or other
sprays.
Do not wear your hearing aid during x-ray, MR
scans, CT scans, short-wave diathermy, or similar
radiation treatments. Some types of radiation can
damage your hearing aid. Other types of radia-
tion from, for example, room surveillance equip-
ment, burglar alarms, and cellular telephones,
are weaker and will not damage your hearing aid.
