Daily maintenance

It is important to keep your hearing aid clean and dry. On a daily basis, clean the hearing aids using a soft
cloth or tissue. In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspiration, the use of a drying kit
is recommended.

12.2 Cleaning the receiver tubes and domes

The receiver tube and the receiver dome should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth to clean the re-
ceiver tube and receiver dome on the outside. Do not use water when you are cleaning the receiver tubes
or the receiver domes. This process is also used to clean the UP receiver mold. Please see chapter 12.4
for how to change the wax guard filter.

NOTE: If the components get stiff, brittle, or discolured, ask your hearing care professional for a
replacement.

12.4 Changing wax guard for receiver
For changing Cerustop (white) wax filters, the following steps are needed:
1. To remove the old wax guard, insert the removal side of the wax guard tool into the used wax
guard so that the shaft of the tool is touching the rim of the wax guard. Slowly pull the wax guard
straight out.
2. To insert the new wax guard, gently press the replacement side of the wax guard tool straight into
the hole of the sound outlet until the outer ring lies flush with the outside of the receiver. Pull the
tool straight out -the new wax guard will remain in place.
