Maintenance and care

Your new ACURIS hearing system is a highly sensitive system.
Proper care and handling will ensure the best possible
performance.

Earwax may accumulate on your earmold. If not cleaned
regularly you can damage the hearing systems or cause
health problems. Therefore:

It is essential to detach the
earmold from your behind-the-
ear system and place it in the
cleaning bath.

Caution:

Do NOT

put the hearing system in water,
only the earmold.

Occasionally bring your hearing
system to your hearing instru-
ment specialist to regularly to
have the hearing tube changed
and the system checked.

Care tips:

• You should place your hearing

system in a "dry aid kit" with a special
moisture-attracting capsule overnight.
The drying capsule draws damaging
moisture out of the system.

• Your hearing instrument specialist can

supply you with special care sets and
drying capsules to keep your hearing
system in good condition.

Always store your hea-
ring system in the case
provided.
