Cleaning Your Hearing Aids - Unitron Quantum User Manual

Cleaning your hearing aids

Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring
your hearing aids are free of ear wax is an
important step in your daily cleaning and
maintenance routine.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
earmolds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing
aids or earmolds can seriously damage them.
Earmolds
Always ensure earmolds are
clean and free of earwax.
Do not use alcohol to clean
your earmolds.
If the earmolds become plugged, clear the
opening with a wax loop or pipe cleaner.

If your physician prescribes eardrops, clean
any moisture that may get into the earmolds
or tubing to prevent plugging.
If the earmolds require further cleaning:
1. Disconnect the plastic tube from the hook
of the hearing aids.
2. Wash only the earmolds in warm water
with a mild soap.
3. Rinse them with cool water and dry
overnight.
4. Make sure the earmold tubes are dry
before reconnecting them to each hook on
your hearing aids. Use of a hearing aid
blower can assist with removing
moisture/debris from tube. See your
hearing healthcare professional for more
information.
