The earmold
Make sure your earmold is clean and free of ear-
wax and moisture. If it is plugged, clear the open-
ing with a wax removing tool, a toothpick or pipe
cleaner.
If this is not sufficient, disconnect the plastic tube
from the hook of the hearing aid and wash the
mold in lukewarm water with a mild dishwashing
soap.
Rinse in cold water and allow the mold to dry over-
night. If there is still moisture in the mold or tube,
use a small air blower to blow it dry.
Do not use alcohol to clean your earmold!
If your earmold tubing becomes stiff, yellow or
cracked, contact your Hearing Healthcare Profes-
sional for a replacement.
