The hearing aid

Never  wash  your  hearing 

aid  with  water,  cleaning 

solutions or other liquids. 

Instead,  clean  your  hear-

ing aid with a dry soft cloth 

after use.

When the hearing aid is not in use, it is a good idea 

to leave the battery drawer open, so as to ventilate 

the hearing aid and allow it to dry.

 

The earmould

Make sure that your ear-

mould  is  clean  and  free 

of earwax and moisture. 

If it is plugged, clear the 

openings with a wax re-

moving tool (see illustra-

tion).

Disconnect  the  earmould  from 

the tubing at least once a week 

and wash the earmould in luke-

warm  water.  Rinse  the  ear-

mould  thoroughly  and  allow  it 

to dry overnight.
