Caring For Your Hearing Instrument - oticon IIc Instructions For Use Manual

caring for your hearing instrument

Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the ventilation canals, the
microphone inlets and the sound outlet. If the microphone inlets or the sound outlet are
clogged by dust or dirt, this will affect the performance of the instrument.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you
drop it.
Before going to bed:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the instrument openings since it may
reduce the hearing instrument's efficiency.
• Open the battery door to allow air to circulate.
