daily maintenance

It is important to keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. On a daily basis, clean
the hearing instruments 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.

Cleaning earmoulds

1. Remove the earmould and attached tubing from the hearing instruments prior
to cleaning.
2. Clean the earmould using a mild soap, and rinse with lukewarm water.
3. After cleaning, dry earmoulds thoroughly and remove any residual water and
debris from the tubing utilising an air bulb and wire loop.

tact your hearing care professional regarding tube changes.

Cleaning metal hook

Some hearing instruments are equipped with a metal power hook. Regular cleaning is required to keep
these hooks in new condition.
1. Remove the earmould and tubing from the metal power hook. Clean these as above.
2. Using a soft cloth or tissue wipe off any moisture, perspiration, or debris from the surface of the hook.
i
Note: Do not use alcohol or other cleaning solvents to clean the metal hook as this could damage
the protective covering.

how to apply domes

could result in the dome falling out in the ear.
ReSound Standard domes
