Daily Care Of Your Hearing Instruments - oticon Sumo 20DM User Instructions

Daily care of your hearing
instruments
When handling a hearing instrument, hold it over a
soft surface to avoid damage if dropped.
Before retiring for the evening:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the
earmold openings since it may reduce the hearing
instruments' effi ciency.
• Open the battery compartments to allow air to
circulate.
Cleaning your earmolds
The earmolds should be washed regularly:
• Disconnect the earmold
and tubing from the
hearing instrument.
• Wash the earmold in
lukewarm water using
a mild soap. Do not use
strong detergents.
The hearing instruments
themselves must never be
washed!

• Rinse with water.
• Dry the earmold.
• Any water drops inside the
earmold or tubing should
be blown out. A special
device for this purpose (an
earmold blower) is
available from your Hearing
Care Professional.
• Make sure the earmold and tubing are completely
dry before they are reconnected to the hearing
instruments as shown in the drawing.

Replacing the tubing
The tubing in the earmold
should be replaced when it
becomes yellow or stiff. Consult
your hearing care professional in
relation to this.
