The sound outlet
It is important that the sound outlet is not blocked by
earwax. If it is blocked, do as follows:
Remove any visible earwax from
around the sound outlet with
the small brush or cloth.
If the sound outlet is still
blocked, you should change the
wax guard (see page 24).
Important
If you cannot clean the sound outlet completely, you
should contact your hearing care professional.
Do not insert anything into the sound outlet as this
could damage the hearing aid.
The relief vent, short
If earwax has accumulated in and/or around the relief
vent opening, do as follows:
Clean any earwax from the vent as
far as the long end of wax remov-
ing tool no. 3 can reach.
Important
It is important for the performance of the hearing
aid that the relief vent is never blocked. Make it a
habit to clean the relief vent every day! In rare cases
so much earwax can accumulate in the relief vent
that the hearing aid sound is affected. In that case
you should see your hearing care professional.
