Caring for your hearing aid
With proper care, your hearing aid will give you consis-
tent reliable service. Here are some things you can do
to prolong the life of your hearing aid:
• Switch your hearing aid off when it is not in use.
Should you not use it for several days, take out the
battery.
• Treat the hearing aid as the valuable object it is: with
care. When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it in its
case in a cool, dry location where it cannot be reached
by children or pets.
• When not in use, do not expose the hearing aid to ex-
treme heat or high humidity. Use care to dry the
hearing aid thoroughly after heavy perspiration e.g.
such as that which may occur with intense activity
level in certain sports.
• In environments with high humidity, a drying kit may
be used daily to reduce the amount of moisture in-
side the hearing aid. See the instructions enclosed
with the drying kit.
