Using the telephone
As telephones do not all work the same, you
may experience different results from different
phones. You can use many phones by simply
holding the receiver to your ear, without the
need to change to a dedicated telephone
program on your hearing aid. You may need to
move the handset slightly up or back to find the
position that sounds best to you.
Depending on the phone type you use, your
hearing healthcare professional might have
selected a dedicated phone program on your
hearing aids.
Protecting your hearing aids
•
Open the battery door when not in use.
•
Always remove your hearing aids when
using hair care products. The hearing aids
can become clogged and cease to function
properly.
•
Do not wear your hearing aids in the bath or
shower or immerse them in water.
•
If your hearing aids do become wet, do
not attempt to dry them in an oven or
microwave. Do not adjust any controls.
Open the battery doors immediately, and
allow your hearing aids to dry naturally for
24 hours.
•
Protect your hearing aids from excessive
heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove box or
dashboard).
•
Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a
Dri-Aid kit, can help prevent corrosion and
prolong the life of your hearing aids.
•
Do not drop your hearing aids or knock them
against hard surfaces.
