Protecting your hearing aids

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).
• Ensure you do not twist or squeeze the wire
when your hearing aids are placed in their
case.
• Regular use of a dehumidier, such as a
Dri-Aid kit, can help prevent corrosion and
prolong the life of your hearing aids.

against hard surfaces.
Cleaning your hearing aids
Use a so cloth to clean your hearing aid at the
end of each day, and place it in its case with
the battery door open to allow moisture to
evaporate.
Regular cleaning of the microphone ports with
the supplied cleaning brush will ensure that
your hearing instrument will maintain its sound
quality. Your hearing healthcare professional
can demonstrate this for you.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
custom molds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
or custom molds can seriously damage them.
