Daily care of your hearing
instruments
When handling a hearing instrument, hold it over a
soft surface to avoid damage if dropped.
Before retiring for the evening:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the
earmold openings since it may reduce the hearing
instruments’ efficiency.
• Open the battery compartments to allow air to
circulate.
Cleaning your earmolds
The earmolds should be washed regularly:
• Disconnect the earmold and tubing
from the hearing instrument.
• Wash the earmold in lukewarm water
using a mild soap. Do not use
strong detergents.
The hearing instruments
themselves must never be
washed!
• Rinse with water.
• Dry the earmold.
• Any water drops inside
the earmold or tubing
should be blown out. A
special device for this
purpose (an earmold blower) is
available from your Hearing Care Professional.
• Make sure the earmold and tubing are completely
dry before they are reconnected to the hearing
instruments as shown in the drawing.
Replacing the tubing
The tubing in the earmould
should be replaced when
it becomes yellow or stiff.
Consult your Hearing Care
Professional about this.
