Hearing instruments are exposed to moisture
in the form of humidity and perspiration
while being worn. The daily use of a
dehumidifying system or drying kit approved
by your hearing healthcare provider is
recommended. These accessories may be
purchased from your hearing healthcare
provider.
The most common causes of hearing
instrument repair are wax and moisture. If
you are encountering recurrent repairs, please
discuss the various wax/moisture prevention
systems and accessories with your hearing
healthcare provider.

If the hearing instrument is weak or not
working, you may need to replace the wax
guard as outlined in this manual. Inspect the
receiver module and wax guard daily for any
visible damage. Such damage could lead to a
piece coming off inside the ear. If any damage
has occurred, or the wax guard comes off inside
the ear, contact your hearing care professional
for immediate help.
The materials used in your hearing instruments
are of the highest quality available, and the
likelihood of an allergic reaction is slight. If the
receiver link or the receiver module irritates
your ear in any way, contact your hearing
healthcare provider.
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.
CAUTION: Your hearing instruments are NOT
water resistant. NEVER swim, bathe, or shower
while wearing them or otherwise immerse in water.
