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 a day or more, take out
the battery to avoid battery leakage.
• Treat your hearing aid as the valuable object it is:
with care. Keep it in its case in a cool, dry location
where it cannot be reached by children or pets.
• Never expose it to extreme temperatures or high
humidity.
• Do not wear your hearing aid in the shower or
swimming, or when using a hair dryer, hair spray,
or other sprays. Use care when applying topical lo-
tions such as sunscreen.
• Never try to open or repair the hearing aid your-
self.
