Daily maintenance
Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft
cloth or tissue after use to remove grease or moisture. You should
avoid exposing your instrument directly to moisture such as rain or
water from the shower. If your instrument does get wet or if it has
been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, it should be left to
dry out overnight with the battery out and the battery compartment
open. It is also a good idea to put them in a sealed container together
with a drying agent (dessicator) overnight. Consult your hearing care
professional as to which drying agent to use.
To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:
• Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids since this
may cause permanent damage to the circuitry.
• Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling, and avoid
dropping it on hard surfaces or floors.
• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sunlight since
excessive heat can damage the instrument or deform the casing
or the receiver tube.
