If  there  is  still  moisture 

in  the  earmold  the  next 

time you want to use the 

hearing aid, use a small 

blower or the like to blow 

it  dry. 

Never

  use  alcohol  or  other  cleaning  solu-

tions to clean your earmold.

If your earmold tubing becomes slack, stiff, yellow 

or cracked, it should be replaced. For further sup-

plies  of  tubing  consult  your  hearing  care  profes-

sional.

 

Caring for your hearing aid

With  proper  care,  your  hearing  aid  will  give  you 

years of reliable service. Here are some things you 

can do to prolong the life of your hearing aid:

Switch  your  hearing  aid  off  when  it  is  not  in 

use. Should you not use it for several days, take 

out the battery to avoid battery leakage.
Treat your hearing aid as the valuable object it 

is: with care. When your hearing aid is not in 

use,  keep  it  in  its  case  in  a  cool,  dry  location 

where  it  cannot  be  reached  by  children  or 

pets.
When not in use, do not expose your hearing 

aid to extreme temperatures or high humidity. 
In environments with high humidity (including 

that created by heavy perspiration), a drying kit 

may  be  used  daily  to  reduce  the  amount  of 

moisture  inside  the  hearing  aid.    See  the  in-

structions enclosed with the drying kit.
