Caring for your hearing instrument
Your ear canal produces ear wax (cerumen) which may clog up the sound outlet or the
ventilation opening of your hearing instrument. Therefore your hearing instrument may
contain a lter or another device to prevent wax accumulation. Consult your Hearing Care
Professional for instructions about the specic wax protection system in your hearing
instrument.
When handling a hearing instrument, keep it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you
drop it.
Before retiring at night:
• Make sure that there is no ear wax in any of the instrument openings since it may
reduce the hearing instrument’s eciency.
• Open the battery door to allow air to circulate.
Cleaning the instrument
A range of dedicated cleaning tools is prepared for the special purpose of cleaning the
instrument. These should be used to ensure the best care and performance of your
hearing instrument.

from the hearing instrument.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The hearing instrument itself must never be washed or immersed in water or other
liquids.
