• Please be aware that the use of any type of hearing
aid/earmould may involve a slightly increased risk of
infection in the ear canal. An infection can arise as a
result of inadequate ventilation of the ear. Therefore,
we recommend that you take out your hearing aid/
earmould at night to allow the ear canal to be venti-
lated. Make sure that you clean and inspect your hear-
ing aid/earmould as required. If an infection occurs,
you should disinfect your hearing aid/earmould and
seek medical advice. Contact your hearing healthcare
professional for further advice on methods of disin-
fection. Do not use alcohol, chlorine or similar sub-
stances to clean your hearing aid/earmould.
