Some useful tips:
Never expose your hearing instruments to
extreme temperatures or high humidity.
Never let them lie in the blazing sun. Do not
wear them when taking a shower or when using
hairspray.
In short-wave therapy or if you work or are
medically treated with strong magnetic or
high-frequency fields or X-rays, under no
circumstances may you wear the instruments
during the therapy.
Make sure to switch off the instruments when
not in use. This saves the batteries.
If you don’t wear your instruments for a longer
time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak
out. Replace batteries that have leaked out
without delay.
If the hearing instrument is too quiet
Most likely, you need to insert a new battery. If it
is still too quiet, clean the instrument or the ear
mould and hearing tube, following the directions
in the chapter “Notes for cleaning and care“
.
If neither a new battery nor cleaning helps,
as a precaution you should ask your hearing
instrument specialist to test your hearing again.
If the hearing instrument does not work at all
Is the instrument turned on? Is the battery
compartment completely closed? Is the battery
inserted correctly? Is it possible that the battery is
dead?
If none of these hints help, you should visit your
hearing instrument specialist.
