The following instructions will assist in
extending the life of your hearing
instruments.
To Clean the Exterior of the Instrument:
You should inspect and clean your hearing
instruments daily to control wax buildup. To
clean, very gently wipe the surface with a soft,
dry cloth or moist cleaning wipes made
especially for hearing instruments. Do not
allow water or liquid to enter any openings
on the instruments.
The sound tube delivers the amplified sound
from the hearing instrument into the ear. It is
important that these components fit properly
in your ear. The materials used in your
hearing instruments are of the highest quality
available, and the likelihood of an allergic
reaction is slight. If the sound tube or the ear
bud irritates your ear in any way, contact your
hearing healthcare provider. Please don't
attempt to modify the shape or length of the
sound tube yourself. The tube and bud
should be cleaned regularly according to the
instructions on the following pages.
The wearing of a hearing instrument may
accelerate the accumulation of ear wax. This
can easily be removed by your physician or in
some cases your hearing healthcare provider.
You should not use cotton swabs to clean
your ears, due to the risk of pushing the wax
deeper into the ear canal.
To Clean the Sound Tube and Ear Bud
Remove the sound tube from the hearing
instrument by gently twisting the tube 90°
and pulling it straight off, away from the
instrument.
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the
sound tube and bud. Use the cleaning rod
(provided in storage case) to clean the sound
tube and bud.
Lightly “push” the
cleaning rod
through the sound
tube, inserting at
the opening where
the tube attaches to
the body of the
instrument and push
out through the bud.
