Daily Care Of Your Hearing Instruments - oticon BTE Instructions For Use Manual

Daily care of 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
earmould openings since it may reduce the hearing
instruments' efficiency.
• Open the battery compartments to allow air to
circulate.
Cleaning your earmoulds
The earmoulds should be washed regularly:
• Disconnect the earmould and tubing
from the hearing instrument.
• Wash the earmould 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 earmould.
• Any water drops inside
the earmould or tubing
should be blown out. A
special device for this
purpose (an earmould blower) is
available from your Hearing Care Professional.
• Make sure the earmould 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 earmould
should be replaced when
it becomes yellow or stiff.
Consult your Hearing Care
