Things that Can Damage Your Hearing System

bath, or sauna. Do not submerge the instrument in water or other liquids.
If  perspiration  or  humidity  is  an  issue,  you  may  find  it  beneficial  to  use  a  drying  kit  

specially  designed  for  hearing  systems.  To  prevent  damage,  only  use  drying  kits  that  

are approved by your hearing healthcare professional.

drying kit.

Rough Treatment

Protect your hearing system from rough treatment by storing it in the provided carrying 

case when it is not in use. 

Corrosive Substances

•  Non-Approved Cleaning Solutions - If you use cleaning products, only use those 

recommended by your hearing healthcare professional, as housing can be damaged 

by  certain  cleaning  agents  such  as  mineral  acids,  hydrocarbons  (benzol),  esters, 

alcohols and ketones.
