clean your system nightly
Transmitter
Clean as needed, using a soft, damp cloth.
Hearing instrument
We recommended that you clean your hearing instrument with a soft,
damp cloth
Earmolds
Earmolds must be kept clean at all times so sound can be channeled
clearly to the ears. Disconnect the earmold and tubing from the hearing
instrument, then clean earmolds with mild soap and water only. Never
use alcohol or solvents. If the earmolds become clogged with wax, gently
push a soft, absorbent cotton pipe cleaner through the opening to clear it.
Make sure the earmold and tubing are completely dry before reconnecting
to the hearing instrument–if necessary, use a special blower available from
your hearing care professional.

When not wearing your S
PRITE, keep it safely protected in its case.
Also store extra channel cartridges, screwdriver, and batteries in the
spaces provided in the case. Adhere or insert an identification tag to
the side or inside of the case.
Long-Term
Follow instructions as above, but remove the batteries before placing
the receivers into their case.
other important notes
• Protect your hearing instrument from excess humidity (shower,
bathing), heat (radiator, car in summer) and shocks. Remove hearing
instruments before using hair spray.
