Cleaning your hearing aids
Use a soft cloth to clean your hearing aid at the
end of each day, and place it in its case with the
battery door open to allow moisture to evaporate.
Regular cleaning of the microphone ports with
the supplied cleaning brush will ensure that
your hearing instrument will maintain its sound
quality. Your hearing healthcare professional can
demonstrate this for you.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
earmolds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
or earmolds can seriously damage them.
Cleaning your custom shells and domes
Clean the domes and shells on the
outside daily with a damp cloth. Avoid
getting any water in and around the
speaker units (microphone shields)
and custom shells.
Note: The wires, speakers, domes or custom
shells should never be rinsed or submerged
in water as water drops may block sound or
damage the electrical components of the hearing
aids.
Domes should be replaced by your hearing
healthcare professional every 3-6 months or
when they become stiff, brittle, or discolored.
If your shells require further cleaning, the speaker
waxguard may be plugged and require replacing.
See your hearing healthcare professional.
