Repair

Refer to the back cover of this booklet for the nearest 

repair facility or, if you have any questions regarding 

repairs, contact your hearing healthcare provider.

Maintenance and Care

Your hearing aid needs to be cleaned daily. You can wipe 

the outside surface with a soft cloth or tissue. Always 

store your hearing aid inside its case when not in use.

Important Care Tips

• 

Keep your hearing aid clean and dry. 

It is recommended that you use a hearing aid 

dehumidifier kit to story your aid overnight.

• 

Never attempt to re-form the speaker unit or insert 

anything into the speaker unit.

• 

Keep the hearing aid in a safe place, out of the 

reach of pets and small children.

• 

Remove the battery when storing the hearing aid 

for long periods.

• 

When changing the battery, work over a table 

or countertop to keep the aid and battery from 

dropping.

• 

Use a soft brush to clean difficult-to-reach areas.

• 

Do not drop the hearing aid.

• 

Do not expose to moisture or submerge in water.

• 

Avoid harsh temperatures, including excessive heat.

• 

Avoid wearing your hearing aid while applying hair 

spray.

Consult your physician if excessive earwax, skin 

irritation, or a foreign object prevents you from wearing 

your hearing aid.
