Daily Maintenance; Cleaning The Ear Mould - ReSound Match MA2T70-V User Manual

Daily Maintenance

Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with
a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove oil or moisture. If the
instrument has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration,
enclose it (with the ear mould) in a sealed container together
with a drying agent (desiccant) overnight. Consult your hearing
care professional concerning which drying agent to use.
To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:
• Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since
this may cause permanent damage to the circuitry.
• Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and
avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or floors.
• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sun-light
since excessive heat can damage the instrument or casing.

Cleaning the ear mould

• First, remove the tubing and ear
mould from the hearing instru-
ment. Keep left and right instru-
ment separated.
• Remove earwax with the clea-
ning brush and a soft cloth. If
necessary, use a mild solution of
soft soap and water or a special cleaning solution. Ask your
hearing care practitioner for detailed instructions.
• Rinse the ear mould with water.
Note: Do not use water or other liquids on the hearing instru-
ment itself.
• Dry the ear mould with a cloth.
• Remove water drops from the
tubing and ear mould. A special
device is available for this from
your hearing care practitioner.
• Ensure that the ear mould and
tubing are completely dry before
attaching them to the hearing instrument. Make sure that
you connect the correct earmoulds to their corresponding
instruments. Check the figures on page 11.
Replacing the tube
Ask your hearing care practitioner to replace the ear mould
tubing if it becomes stiff or changes colour.
