Care and maintenance

i
Proper handling
Your hearing instrument is protected by a layer of protective,
hydrophobic nanocoat material. Please follow the following instructions
to prolong the durability of your hearing instruments:
1 Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a
soft cloth or tissue after use to remove grease or moisture.
Do not use water or solvents, as these can damage the
hearing instrument(s).
2 Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as
liquids may cause permanent damage to the hearing instruments.
3 Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on
hard surfaces or floors.
4 Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight,
such as in a hot, parked car, as excessive heat can cause damage
or deform the casing.
5 Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy
rain or in a moist atmosphere such as a steam bath or sauna.
6 If your instrument does get wet, or if it has been exposed to high
humidity or perspiration, it should be left to dry out overnight with
the battery out and the battery compartment open. It is also a
good idea to put the instrument and battery in a sealed container
together with a drying agent (desiccator) overnight. Do not use
the instrument until it is completely dry. Consult your hearing care
professional as to which drying agent to use.
7 Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as
cosmetics, perfume, aftershave, hair spray, and suntan lotion.
These might get into the instrument and cause damage.
