The ear-set

Make sure that the ear-set is clean and free of earwax
and moisture. If the ear-set tubing is plugged, it must
be cleaned. Remove the ear-set from the hearing aid.
Remove the ear-tip from the coupling. Then clean the
tubing with the cleaning thread (no. 3). Never use alco-
hol or other cleaning solutions to clean the ear-set.

Pull the ear-set off the
hearing aid.
