The Microphone Tube
The microphone tip and tubing can be
cleaned by gently wiping them with a soft
dry cloth. This will help to ensure that the
ports stay open and allow sound to get
into the microphone.
Note that the tube may wear out or
become discolored over time with usage
of the hearing instrument. Should the
tubing become discolored or should the
hearing instrument fail to produce sound,
contact your hearing care professional to
have the tubing replaced.
Optionally, you can purchase a container that
contains a drying agent (a desiccant). Some
containers are electric, and in addition to
dry ing the hearing instrument, they help
to sanitize. Check with your hearing care
professional
for options.
