Maintenance and cleaning
Earwax (cerumen) will accumulate on your hearing instrument during use. If earwax en-
ters the instrument it can damage it. The instrument has a protection system, the wax
guard. Clean the instrument and replace the wax guard filter re-
gularly. Failure to do so can lead to an accumulation of earwax
impairing sound quality.
Cleaning is easier when accumulated earwax is dry; e.g., in the
morning, before you insert the instrument into your ear.
Cleaning the instrument
• Clean your instrument with a soft, dry cloth and the small
brush. Do this above a soft surface or table to avoid damage if
the instrument falls.
• Do not use water or fluids.
Hearing through an induction loop
More and more public places, churches, theatres and cinemas, have induction loop sy-
stems. In these particular rooms, they transmit, wirelessly, the sound of the presenter or
show. At home, radio or television can be connected to an induction loop. Sound quality
through an induction loop is often better because noises from the environment are not
transmitted.
• Switch your instrument to the T-program, using the program button.
• Choose a good spot. Reception is not clear at all locations; it depends on the position
of the induction loop. Watch for signs or try a different seat yourself.
• If needed, adjust the volume up or down.
• After service or show, switch your instrument back to a micro phone program. You
will now hear through the microphone again.
• Your hearing care practitioner will gladly provide you with advice regarding an induc
-
tion loop system at home. Ask for it.
