 Maintenance and care

 

To prevent damage it is important that you take care of 

your hearing instruments and follow a few basic rules, 

which will soon become a part of your daily routine.

 Hearing instruments

 Drying and storage

Dry your hearing instruments overnight.

Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended 

drying products.

For longer periods of non-use, store your hearing 

instruments with open battery compartment and 

batteries removed in a drying system to avoid the 

adverse effects of moisture.

 Cleaning

Your hearing instruments have a protective coating. 

However, if not cleaned regularly you may damage the 

hearing instruments or cause personal injury.

Clean your hearing instruments daily with a soft, dry 

tissue.

Never use running water or immerse the 

devices in water.

Never apply pressure while cleaning.

Ask your Hearing Care Professional for recommended 

cleaning products, special care sets, or more 

information on how to keep your hearing instruments 

in good condition.
