Caring For Your Hearing Instrument - oticon BTE series Instructions For Use Manual

caring for your hearing instrument

Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the sound outlet or the
ventilation opening of your ear mould. To prevent wax accumulation causing a change in
performance, the guidelines in this section should be followed.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you
drop it.
Before retiring at night:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the ear mould openings since it may
reduce the hearing instrument's efficiency.
• Open the battery door to allow air to circulate.
