Cleaning the Corda thin tube
To remove ear wax or debris from the
thin tube:
• Click the tube off the instrument by
lifting the thin tube up and away at the
thicker neck of the tube, at the junction
of the hearing aid and the tube.
• Insert the cleaning tool in the tube all
the way through. It may be easier to
insert the cleaning tool starting at the
larger opening at the neck.
• Remove the cleaning tool and click on
the tube to the hearing instrument.
• Your hearing care professional can
advise you how often to clean the
tube. If the tube becomes
hardened, yellow, or cracked,
consult your hearing care
professional to obtain
replacement tubes and/or
domes.
