DEVICE MAINTENANCE & TLC

Maintenance of your hearing aid is very important to make sure you get 

the most benefit for many years to come. We highly recommend you 

follow these tips to keep your system clean and working properly.

THE EAR TIPS

Your ear tips have a filter that collects wax in order to prevent damage 

to the speaker. We highly recommended that you clean and replace these 

ear tips regularly so that you can continue to enjoy the best possible audio 

experience. Replacement ear tips are available for purchase through 

ListenClear and we recommend that you always keep spares just as you do 

with your spare batteries. Call Customer Service today to order additional 

tips. 888-320-0424 (Monday – Friday, 8:45am – 7:00pm EST).

Be sure to inspect your device’s ear tips often and make sure they are not 

swollen or discolored and free of tears, cuts or other damage. If you see 

any damage to the tips, remove and replace it immediately, as a damaged 

tip could possibly come off in your ear. If a tip is lost in your ear, do not be 

alarmed, simply contact your physician for immediate removal. 

EVEN YOUR HEARING DEVICE NEEDS REST

At night: 

Open the battery door, remove the battery and place your device 

in its protective case. By leaving the battery door and case open, you allow 

any moisture in the device to evaporate and help keep it in optimal shape. 

Tip: If a replacement ear tip is not immediately available, your current tip can 

be cleaned. Simply remove it from the speaker assembly and soak in warm 

soapy water for about 10 minutes. Then, rinse and allow to fully dry before 

reconnecting it to the speaker. Tips should be cleaned once a week for optimal 

sound performance. We recommend contacting ListenClear Customer Service for 

genuine replacement accessories. 

Warning: Do not use alcohol or other solvents to clean your device as  

these can cause damage.
