Caring for your hearing instrument
Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which
may clog up the sound outlet or the ventilation
opening of your ear mould. To prevent wax accumu-
lation causing a change in performance, the guide-
lines in this section should be followed.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a
soft surface to avoid damage if you drop it.
Before retiring at night:
Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the
•
earmould openings since it may reduce the
hearing instrument’s efficiency.
Open the battery door to allow air to circulate.
•
Cleaning the instrument
A special purpose brush can be used for cleaning
your instruments. This should be used to ensure
the best care and performance of your hearing
instruments.
Cleaning the earmould
Clean away any traces of wax from around
•
the sound outlet with the brush.
Clean the ventilation opening by pressing the
•
brush through the hole while twisting it slightly.
Use the cloth to clean the surface of the instrument.
Replace the brush when necessary. Just pull it out of
the handle and insert a new fresh brush. Press the
new one firmly into the handle.
Brushes can be purchased from your Hearing Care
Professional.
