daily Maintenance

It is important to keep your hearing
instrument clean and dry every day. To
clean the instrument, use a soft cloth.
If the instrument has been exposed
to high humidity or perspiration, use
a drying kit that is available from your
hearing care professional.
To avoid the need for repairs:
1. Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since this
may cause permanent damage to the hearing instrument.
2. Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and avoid
dropping it on hard surfaces or floors.
3. Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since
excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform the casing.

Cleaning the earmould

The earmould should be cleaned regularly:
1. Remove the earmould and the tubing from the hearing instrument
before you clean it.
2. To clean the earmould, rinse with
lukewarm water.
3. If ear wax is stuck in the sound
canal of the earmould,
the cleaning loop or a syringe
with lukewarm water can be used
to "push" the wax out.
4. Blow gently through the tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.
5. Be sure to thoroughly dry the earmould and its tubing before
reconnecting it to the hearing instrument.
The tubing connecting the earmould to the hearing instrument
should be changed if it becomes stiff or brittle. Contact your hearing
care professional to change the tubing when needed.
