Hearing System Care

Instrument Care

Do your best to keep your hearing instrument clean at all times. Heat, moisture and 

foreign substances can result in poor performance.

•  Clean daily over a soft cloth to prevent damage from a fall to a hard surface

•   Remove the clear plastic sleeve then use a cleaning brush to clean debris from 

around the microphone, receiver and the battery compartment

•   Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or oil to clean your instrument

•  The plastic sleeve can be cleaned with soapy water

Your hearing care professional can provide further information on additional 

maintenance procedures for your hearing system if needed.

Helpful Hints

•    When not in use, remove the batteries completely; place your hearing system in the 

storage container and store:

 

– In a dry, safe place

 

–  Away from direct sunlight or heat to avoid extreme temperatures

 

– Where you can easily find them

 

– Safely out of reach of pets and children

•   Do not take apart your hearing instruments or insert the cleaning tools inside them

Service and Repair

If, for any reason, your hearing system does not operate properly, do NOT attempt to 

fix it yourself. Not only are you likely to violate any applicable warranties or insurance, 

you could easily cause further damage. Should your hearing system fail or perform 

poorly, check the guide below for possible solutions. If problems continue, contact 

your hearing care professional for advice and assistance.
