Washing the ear moulds
The ear moulds should be washed regularly:
• Disconnect the ear mould and the tubing from the sound
hook of the hearing instrument.
• Wash the ear mould in lukewarm water using a mild soap.
Do not use strong detergents.
• Rinse with water.
• Dry the ear mould.
• Any water drops inside the ear mould or tubing should be
blown out. A special device for this purpose (an ear mould
blower) is available from your Hearing Care Professional.
The hearing instrument itself must never be washed
or immersed in water or other liquids!
• Make sure the ear mould and tubing are completely dry before they are reconnected to
the hearing instrument. Be careful that the left ear mould and tubing are connected to
the hearing instrument with the left ear marking and vice versa for the right ear
instrument.
Replacing the tubing
The tubing in the ear mould should be replaced when it becomes yellow or stiff.
Consult your Hearing Care Professional in relation to this.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The hearing instrument itself must never be washed or immersed in water
or other liquids!
