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 af-
ter heavy perspiration such as that which may occur during in-
tense 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 swimming,
or when using a hair dryer, perfume, hair and body sprays or
gels such as suntanning lotions or creams.
• In environments with high humidity, a drying kit may be used
daily to reduce the amount of moisture inside the hearing aid.
See the instructions enclosed with the drying kit.
