Cleaning the earmold
• First, remove the tubing and ear
-
mold from the hearing instrument.
Keep left and right instrument
separated.
• Remove earwax with the cleaning
brush and a soft cloth. If needed,
use a mild solution of soft soap
and water or a special cleaning
solution. Ask your hearing care
practitioner for detailed instructions.
• Rinse the earmold with water.
Note
: Do not use water or other liquid on the hearing instrument
itself.
• Dry the earmold with a cloth.
• Blow possible water drops from
tubing and earmold. A special
device is available for this from
your hearing care practitioner.
• Ensure that the earmold and
tubing are completely dry before
attaching them to the hearing
instrument. Take care with left and
right instruments, check the figures on page 12.
Replacing the tube
Ask your hearing care practitioner to replace the tubing from the
instrument to the earmould if it turns stiff or changes colour.
