8.2   Cleaning

The ear adapter pieces and the fl exible 

plastic tubing attached to them must 

be detached from the ear hook before 

cleaning. Only use the recommended 

care products for cleaning the ear 

adapter pieces.

In the case of hearing aids with a thin 

sound tube, the screwed connection 

between the tube and hearing aid can 

be detached. The dome is removed 

for cleaning.

8.3  Drying hearing aids

Your hearing aids should be dried after use at the end of the day 

and above all after cleaning. If you take care of your hearing 

aids by drying them carefully, this will signifi cantly increase 

their service life. There are two ways of doing this. If you 

have an audifon drying station of the type dry star UV 2 or 

dry go, use this for drying. Take note of the individual product 

instructions for further details. Alternatively, you can dry your 

hearing aids in the audifon pro care Drying-Tub with an audifon 

Drying-Capsule.

Dry Go

The audifon Dry Go is the perfect solution for drying your devices 

when on trips or when out and about. Once connected, for example 

to the USB port on your laptop, the drying program can be conven-

iently started at the touch of a single button. A fl ow of warm air 

inside the audifon Dry Go will then dry your devices reliably. The 

drying station switches off  automatically at 

the end of the drying program.

Dry Star UV 2

The audifon Dry Star UV 2 will dry your hearing aids gently yet 

thoroughly through the constant circulation of uniformly warm 

air inside the It utilises a ultraviolet light to disinfect and prevent 

fungal, bacterial, and viral growth. 

The audifon Dry Star UV 2 is not only has an auto-power cut off  

function but also consumes very little power, switching itself off  

at the end of the drying program. The drying station is simple to 

operate using a single sensor button.
