Daily maintenance
It is important to keep your hearing aid clean and dry. On a daily
basis, clean the hearing aids using a soft cloth or tissue.
In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspira-
tion, the use of a drying kit is recommended. Some drying kits are
electric, and in addition to thoroughly drying out hearing aids, they
help sanitize.

Cleaning earmoulds
1. Detach the earmould and attached tubing from the hearing aids prior to
cleaning.
2. Use a mild soap to clean the earmould and rinse with lukewarm water.
3. Dry the earmould thoroughly. Use the airbulb and cleaning wire to re-
move residual water and debris from the tubing.

Note
: Earmould tubing may become stiff, brittle, or discoloured over time. Contact
your hearing care professional regarding tube changes.
