Maintenance and cleaning

Earwax (cerumen) will accumulate on your hearing instrument
during use. If earwax enters the instrument it can damage it.
The instrument has a protection system, the wax guard. Clean the
instrument and replace the wax guard filter regularly. Failure to do
so can lead to an accumulation of earwax impairing sound quality.

Cleaning is easier when accumulated
earwax is dry; e.g., in the morning,
before you insert the instrument
into your ear.

Cleaning the instrument

• Clean your instrument with a soft,

dry cloth and the small brush. Do
this above a soft surface or table
to avoid damage if the instrument
falls.

• Do not use water or fluids.
