Maintaining Your Hearing Device
Ear wax is natural and common. For some users, wearing a hearing device will increase the production of ear wax.
Ensuring that your hearing device is free of wax obstruction is an important part of the cleaning and maintenance of
your hearing device.
Depending on your requirements, your hearing device will have a thin tube and dome tip or a conventional earmold
attached to it. Review the warnings below and follow the instructions on next pages.
CAUTION: Not following the list below may cause damage to your hearing device and accessories

Do not immerse your hearing device in water or liquid to clean. Instead, use a soft cloth or tissue
to remove moisture or oil residue.

Do not bend the thin tube and tip back and forth to remove it.

Do not use cleaning wire while the thin tube is connected to the hearing device.

Do not use alcohol to clean your earmold or dome tip.

Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.

If your physician prescribes ear drops, clean any moisture that may get into the earmold or tubing.
