Daily care of your hearing
instruments
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
earmould openings which might reduce the hearing
instruments’ effi ciency.
• Open the battery drawer to allow air to circulate.
Cleaning your earmoulds
The earmoulds should be washed regularly:
• Disconnect the earmould and tubing from the
hearing instrument.
• Wash the earmould 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 earmould.
• Any water drops inside the
earmould or tubing should
be blown out. A special
device for this purpose
(an earmould blower) is
available from your Hearing
Care Professional.
• Make sure the earmould 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
in relation to this.
