CARING FOR YOUR HEARING AID
The hearing aid is a valuable object and should be
treated with care. Here are some things you can do to
prolong the life of your hearing aid:
CAUTION
• Turn off your hearing aid when it is not in use. Remove the
battery if the hearing aid will not be used for several days.
• When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its case in a dry
location out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not expose the hearing aid to extreme temperatures or
high humidity. Make sure to dry the hearing aid thoroughly
after heavy perspiration such as that which may occur during
intense physical activity, e.g. playing sports.
• Avoid dropping your hearing aid – perform cleaning and bat-
tery changes while holding the hearing aid above a soft sur-
face.
• Do not wear your hearing aid while in the shower or swim-
ming, or when using a hair dryer, perfume, hair and body
sprays or gels such as suntanning lotions or creams.
