The hearing aid is a valuable object and should be
treated with care . Here are some things you can do to
prolong the life of your hearing aid:
CAUTION

battery if the hearing aid will not be used for several days .
• When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its case in a dry
location out of reach of children and pets .

high humidity . Make sure to dry the hearing aid thoroughly
after heavy perspiration such as that which may occur during
intense physical activity, e .g . playing sports .

battery changes while holding the hearing aid above a soft
surface .

ming, or when using a hair dryer, perfume, hair and body
