Caring for your hearing aid

With proper care, your hearing aid will give you consist-
ent 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.

• In environments with high humidity, a Widex drying

kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of mois-
ture inside the hearing aid. See the instructions en-
closed with the Widex drying kit.
