Keep your hearing instrument clean. Wipe it with a soft
cloth or tissue after use to remove oil and moisture.
Remove any accumulated dirt or grease from the
sound inlet, for example with a small brush as shown
in the illustration, but never immerse the instrument in
water or other liquids since this may cause permanent
damage to the circuitry.
Keep your hearing instrument dry. If the instrument
has been exposed to high humidity or perspiration,
enclose it in a sealed container (desiccator) together
with a drying agent overnight.
Consult your hearing care professional concerning
which drying agent to use.
Never attempt to dry it with a hair dryer, in the micro-
wave oven, etc.
Remove your hearing instrument before going to sleep.
In addition, open the battery compartment to turn off
the aid and allow it to aerate.
