Care and maintenance
Please follow the following instructions to prolong the durability of your hearing instruments:
1. Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove
grease or moisture. Do not use water or solvents, as these can damage the hearing instrument(s).
2. Never immerse hearing instruments in water or other liquids, as liquids may cause permanent damage
to the hearing instruments.
3. Avoid rough handling of hearing instruments or dropping them on hard surfaces or floors.
4. Do not leave hearing instruments in or near direct heat or sunlight, such as in a hot, parked car, as
excessive heat can cause damage or deform the casing.
5. Do not wear your instrument while showering, swimming, in heavy rain or in a moist atmosphere such
as a steam bath or sauna.
6. If your instrument does get wet, or if it has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration, it should be
left to dry out overnight with the battery out and the battery compartment open. It is also a good idea to
put the instrument and battery in a sealed container together with a drying agent (desiccator) overnight.
Do not use the instrument until it is completely dry. Consult your hearing care professional as to which
drying agent to use.
7. Remove your hearing instrument when applying such things as cosmetics, perfume, aftershave, hair
spray, and suntan lotion. These might get into the instrument and cause damage.
