Important: 

Consult your hearing care professional 

about changing the Wind and Weather Protector if 
you experience any of the following:

The hearing system sounds quieter than usual

There is a reduction in sound quality

Understanding in noise becomes more difficult 

It becomes more difficult to determine the direction
of sounds.

After some experience, you will get to know when the

It is advisable to have it replaced before the hearing 
system performance is affected.
