• Under no circumstances should you hold the hearing amplifier under water, as this can cause
liquid to enter and damage the hearing amplifier.
• The supplied cleaning brush is suitable for removing earwax stuck in the earplug (see device
description).
• Allow the hearing amplifier to dry fully after cleaning. Store the hearing amplifiers in a safe, dry
and clean place in the relevant storage box with charging function with the drying capsule.
• The drying capsule has to be replaced if the colour of the granulate changes from orange to
white (you can find out where to obtain a new drying capsule in section “9. Accessories and
replacement parts”).
• When the earplug has been removed, you can identify whether the earwax guard is covered
with earwax. If this is the case, replace the earwax guard (you can find out where to obtain a
new earwax guard in section “9. Accessories and replacement parts”).
Changing the earwax guard
Earwax is one of the main causes of problems with hearing amplifiers. During use, earwax can
get into your hearing amplifiers and partially or completely block the passage of sound.
The HA 85 RIC hearing amplifiers are particularly susceptible to this type of problem due to the
position of the speaker deep in the ear canal. By using an earwax guard, you can prevent dam-
age to your hearing amplifiers caused by earwax and thereby keep the devices functioning long
term.
When should you change the earwax guard?
As the amount of earwax produced by people can vary greatly, it is recommended that you
check the earwax guard before every use. As soon as the sound output of the hearing amplifiers
seems to be weaker or quieter or if earwax is already visible, the earwax guard must be changed.
