abutment rather than brushing your skin. Your skin is delicate and should not be
treated too harshly.
Remember, it is important to keep your soft brush clean too!
After cleaning, gently dry the area around the abutment with a clean towel or
tissue. Do not allow your hair to wrap itself around the abutment. If you use a
hairdryer do not keep the hot air on the abutment for too long.
Weekly care
If you use an abutment cover it will help keep the inside of the abutment clean
however, the inside of the abutment should still be cleaned on a weekly basis.
The soft brush can also be used for cleaning inside the abutment. Again, this is
best done in conjunction with a bath or shower when soap and warm water can
soften dirt making it easy to remove.
Skin debris or any other dirt in the abutment can prevent a smooth fitting of the
abutment to your abutment cover and your Baha sound processor. This could
potentially lead to damage of your Baha sound processor.
You will have routine check-ups initially every 4-6 months and later every
6-12 months.
