Caring For Your Hearing Instruments - oticon CIC Instructions For Use Manual

caring for your hearing instruments

Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the sound outlet or the
ventilation opening of your hearing instrument. Therefore your hearing instrument may
contain a filter or another device to prevent wax accumulation. Consult your Hearing Care
Professional for instructions about the specific wax protection system in your hearing
instruments.
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.
