Cleaning the Ear Mould and replacing Sound
Outlet Filter
The ear mould should be cleaned regularly. Remove the ear
mould and the silicone tubing from the hearing instrument
before you clean it. Lukewarm water should be enough to
clean wax off the ear mould. If ear wax is stuck in the sound
canal of the ear mould, the cleaning loop or a syringe with
lukewarm water can easily be used to “push” the wax out.
Be sure to thoroughly dry the ear mould and its tubing before
reconnecting it to the hearing instrument. Blow gently
through the tubing to remove moisture trapped inside.
The silicone tubing connecting the ear mould to the hearing
instrument should be changed if it becomes stiff or brittle.
