• Please note that when using any type of hearing aid, you must allow
regular ventilation of the ear. If the ear is not adequately ventilated,
there may be a slightly increased risk of infection or disease in the
ear canal. We therefore recommend that you remove the hearing aid
from your ear when you go to bed, to allow the ear canal to be ven-
tilated. If possible, you should also remove your hearing aid during
the day if there are any periods when you do not need them. Make
sure that you clean and inspect your hearing aid as required. If an
ear infection or disease occurs, you should seek medical attention
and contact your hearing care professional for advice on how to dis-
infect the hearing aid. Do not under any circumstances use alcohol,
chlorine or similar substances for this purpose.
