Avoiding Heat, Humidity And Chemicals - oticon Alta CIC Instruction Manual

avoiding heat, humidity and chemicals

Your hearing instrument must never be exposed to extreme heat e.g. left inside a parked
car in the sun. They should never be exposed to a lot of moisture e.g. steam baths, show-
ers or heavy rain; nor should they be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens.
Wipe the batteries carefully if moisture is present as it may affect their performance.
Using an anti-humidity kit can help to avoid these problems and may even extend the life
of your hearing instrument. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for further advice.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, after shave lotion, suntan lotion and
insect repellant can damage your hearing instrument. You should always remove your
hearing instrument before applying such products and allow time for the product to dry
before reinserting your hearing instrument. If you use lotion, be sure to wipe your hands
dry before putting on your hearing instrument.
