Cleaning And Replacing The Sound Filters - ReSound Ziga ZG30 User Manual

Cleaning and replacing the sound Filters

Cleaning the Microphone sound inlet
For proper function of the microphone, it is important to clean the
sound inlet to remove dust or other sound-disturbing debris. The soft
brush, provided with your hearing instrument, can be used for this
purpose. Your hearing care professional can instruct you on how to
properly use this tool.
Changing the sound Outlet Filter/Cleaning the sound Outlet
Your ReSound Ziga hearing instrument may be equipped with a sound
TM
outlet filter (consult your hearing care professional). This filter is located
at the end of the sound outlet and prevents debris from getting into the
hearing instrument. If the hearing instrument seems to have lost power,
and changing the battery does not help, the filter may be blocked, and
needs to be changed. Your hearing care professional can instruct you
on how to change the filter.
If your hearing instrument does not have a filter, ear wax and/or other de-
bris may accumulate in the sound channel. The cleaning loop, provided
with your hearing instrument, can be used to remove this material. Your
hearing care professional can instruct you on how to properly use this
tool. When using this tool, be careful not to damage or pull the tubing
placed at the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled out, the hear-
ing instrument may need to be returned for repair.
