Caring for your hearing instruments

Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the sound outlet or the 

ventilation opening of your hearing instrument. Therefore your hearing instrument may 

contain a filter or another device to prevent wax accumulation. Consult your Hearing Care 

Professional for instructions about the specific wax protection system in your hearing 

instruments.

When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you 

drop it.

Cleaning the instrument

A range of cleaning tools is prepared for the special purpose of cleaning the  

instruments. These should be used to ensure the best care and performance of  

your hearing instruments.
