Ear pieces and tubes
Cerumen (ear wax) may accumulate on the ear pieces.
This may affect sound quality.
- For hearing instruments with a standard tube
(ThinTube):
Clean the ear pieces daily, clean the tubes as
required.
Exchange the ear pieces and tubes approximately
every three to six months, or sooner if you notice
cracks or other changes.
- For hearing instruments with earhook:
Clean the ear pieces daily.
Ask your Hearing Care Professional to clean the tubes
or to exchange the ear pieces and tubes as needed.
Cleaning ear pieces
>
Clean the ear piece upon removal
with a soft and dry tissue.
This prevents cerumen
becoming dry and
hardening.
>
Never use running water or immerse the ear piece in
water.
