LISTENING TIPS
34
• Encourage one person to speak at a time when you are
engaging in group conversation.
• Listen to radio and television programs as you
normally would.
• Experiment finding the best place to sit for optimum
hearing in public places like the theater, school auditoriums,
religious services, etc. If possible, choose a seat that is far
away from any source of distracting noise, such as a fan
or an open window, and where you have a good view of
the person speaking.
Maintenance and Care
Hearing instruments should be cleaned daily. You can wipe
them with a tissue or a soft cloth. Do not use water, alcohol,
benzene, or any other liquid or household cleaning agent to
clean your instruments as it may cause damage to them.
Always store your hearing instruments (and earpieces,
LifeTube, or LifeTip) inside the case. A soft carrying pouch
is also included for your convenience when traveling.
Remove the batteries to prevent damage from corrosion when
storing hearing instruments for an extended period of time.
Store the instruments in a dry area, preferably at room
temperature. If you perspire heavily or live in an area of
high humidity, you may find it beneficial to use a DRI-AID™
kit when the instruments are not in use. This product can be
purchased from your Audiologist or Hearing Care Provider.
Note: The charger can be used instead of the DRI-AID kit. Refer to
the Maintenance and Care section of the charger instruction
manual for further information.
CAUTION
Never immerse your hearing instruments in water!
Note: Your hearing instrument is sensitive to extreme heat, high
humidity, strong magnetic fields (>0.1T), X-rays and
mechanical stress.
