The sound tube and the bud may need to be
changed if the sound tube becomes stiff,
brittle, kinked or damaged. Only your hearing
healthcare professional should change the ear
bud. This is to prevent the bud from
detaching from the sound tube during
insertion into the ear. If your hearing
healthcare provider instructs you to change the
buds yourself, make sure they are securely
fastened to the sound tube before inserting
them in your ear. Failure to change the bud in
accordance with the instructions could result
in injury.
Hearing instruments are exposed to moisture
in the form of humidity and perspiration while
being worn. The daily use of a dehumidifying
system or drying kit approved by your hearing
healthcare provider is recommended. These
accessories may be purchased from your
hearing healthcare provider.

Do not rinse or submerge these parts in
water, there is a risk of damage if a water drop
becomes trapped in the sound tube. If this
should occur, it will prevent sound from
coming through the tube and may be harmful
to the instrument's electronics.
Re-attach the sound tube onto the body of
the instrument by holding the sound tube in
one hand and the hearing instrument in the
other hand. Line-up the sound tube and the
connecting end of the instrument, push the
sound tube straight on to the instrument
body. No need to rotate the sound tube
when re-attaching.
