Weekly Oiling - Earlens Light-Driven User Manual

Oiling is required to keep the Lens in place and functioning properly. Apply
2 drops of mineral oil to your ear canal at a minimum of once per week.
Follow the instructions provided by your physician if he or she asks you to oil on a
different schedule. If you have difficulty applying the mineral oil, consider having
another person assist you.
Instructions for Oiling:
We recommend you oil your ears at bedtime, after you have removed your Earlens
Hearing Aids for the day. After you oil, you may notice a slight decrease in your
hearing, which is temporary.
