The Do’s and Don'ts of Hearing Instruments
Do
remove your hearing instruments if you
are going to have X-rays at your dentist
or medical facility. It is best to keep
them outside the room of the X-ray
equipment.
Don’t
leave your hearing instruments on
the radiator, near a stove, in a sunny
window, in a car or in any other hot
place. Excessive heat and cold can
damage the instruments.
Don’t
wear the hearing instruments when
using a hair dryer at home or when at
the beauty salon, spa or barber.
Don’t
wear the hearing instruments when
having medical tests done such as
MRI, X-rays or CT scans; as different
types of radiation may damage the
hearing instrument.
Don’t
apply hair spray when wearing your
hearing instruments. It may damage
the microphone and erode the case.
Don’t
wear the instruments while taking a
bath, shower, spa treatment or while
swimming.
Don’t
store the instruments in the
bathroom during a shower or near a
steam room as moisture created by
the steam may cause damage.
