Care and maintenance

Your hearing instrument is protected by a layer of protective, hydrophobic nanocoat material.
Please follow the following instructions to prolong the durability of your hearing instruments:
1. Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth or tissue after
use to remove grease or moisture. Do not use water or solvents, as these can damage the
hearing instrument(s).
2. Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as liquids may cause perma-
nent damage to the hearing instruments.
3. Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on hard surfaces or floors.
4. Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight, such as in a hot, parked
car, as excessive heat can cause damage or deform the casing.

5. Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy rain or in a moist atmos-
phere such as a steam bath or sauna.
6. If your instrument does get wet, or if it has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, it
should be left to dry out overnight with the battery out and the battery compartment open.
It is also a good idea to put the instrument and battery in a sealed container together with
a drying agent (desiccator) overnight. Do not use the instrument until it is completely dry.
Consult your hearing care professional as to which drying agent to use.
7. Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as cosmetics, perfume, after-
shave, hair spray, and suntan lotion. These might get into the instrument and cause damage.

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. Remove any wax or debris from hearing instruments
using a brush and/or a wire loop. In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspi-
ration, the use of a drying kit is recommended. Some drying kits are electric, and in addition to
thoroughly drying out hearing instruments, they may help sanitize.
