Under the dome you will notice a white wax filter attached to the end of the speaker.
This is a wax filter that will keep debris from damaging the speaker. If this filter becomes
clogged, contact your Hearing Care Professional for service and replacement of the filter.

The dome is made of a soft, medically approved rubber material. If the dome comes
off in the ear canal, it will not cause any harm. If you can – carefully take it out. If
necessary, let another person help you. Do not push the dome into the ear canal.
Do not push the speaker unit into the ear again before the dome is removed from the
ear. If you have any doubts, contact your Hearing Care Professional.
avoiding heat, humidity and chemicals
Your hearing instrument must never be exposed to extreme heat e.g. left inside a parked
car in the sun. They must never be exposed to a lot of moisture e.g. steam baths, showers
or heavy rain. Nor must they be dried in microwave ovens or other ovens.
Wipe the batteries carefully if moisture is present as it may affect their performance.
Using an anti-humidity kit can help to avoid these problems and may even extend the life
of your hearing instrument. Consult your Hearing Care Professional for further advice.
The chemicals in cosmetics, hairspray, perfume, after shave lotion, suntan lotion and
insect repellant can damage your hearing instrument. You should always remove your
hearing instrument before applying such products and allow time for the product to dry
before reinserting your hearing instrument.
If you use lotion, be sure to wipe your hands dry before putting on your hearing instrument.
