Hearing systeM Care
Instrument care
Do your best to keep your hearing instrument clean at all
times. Heat, moisture and foreign substances can result in
poor performance.
• Use a cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean debris
from around the switches, microphone and battery
compartment; inspect the receiver, Instant Fit Earbud and
Wax Guard regularly
• If the Wax Guard or Instant Fit Earbud is missing, contact
your hearing care professional immediately to schedule an
appointment for otoscopy
• Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or oil to clean
your instrument
Your hearing care professional can provide further information
on additional maintenance procedures for your hearing system
if needed.
Helpful Hints
• When not wearing your hearing system, open the battery
door to allow moisture to evaporate
• When not in use, remove the batteries completely; place
your hearing system in the storage container and store:
– In a dry, safe place
– Away from direct sunlight or heat to avoid
extreme temperatures
– Where you can easily find them
– Safely out of reach of pets and children
• Do not take apart your hearing instruments or insert the
cleaning tools inside them
Service and repair
If, for any reason, your hearing system does not operate
properly, do NOT attempt to fix it yourself. Not only are you
likely to violate any applicable warranties or insurance, you
could easily cause further damage.
