Maintenance and care

Your hearing instruments are highly sensitive systems. 
Proper care and handling will ensure the best possible 
performance.
Clean instruments regularly to prevent damage to the 
hearing instruments and to avoid health problems.

NOTICE

 

Do not put the hearing 
instruments in water.

 

Clean your hearing instruments with a soft, dry tissue, 
as necessary.

 

Do not use alcohol or other solvents as it will damage 
the instruments.

 

Be careful not to damage the wax protection when 
cleaning the hearing instruments.

 

Place your hearing instruments in a "dry aid kit" with a 
special moisture-attracting capsule overnight.

 

Ask your Hearing Care Professional for special care sets 
and further information on how to keep your hearing 
instruments in good condition.
