Daily Maintenance
Keep your hearing instrument clean and dry. Wipe the
case with a soft cloth or tissue after use to remove grease
or moisture. If the instrument has been exposed to high
humidity or perspiration, enclose it in a sealed container
together with a drying agent (dessicator) overnight.
Consult your hearing care professional concerning which
drying agent to use.
To avoid the need for unwarranted repairs:
• Never immerse the instrument in water or other liquids
since this may cause permanent damage to the circuitry.
• Protect your hearing instrument from rough handling,
and avoid dropping it on hard surfaces or floors.
• Do not leave the instrument in or near direct heat or sun-
light since excessive heat can damage the instrument or
deform the casing.
Cleaning the Microphone Sound Inlet
For proper function of the microphone, it is important to clean
the sound inlet to remove dust or other sound disturbing de-
bris. The soft brush, provided with your hearing instrument,
can be used for this purpose. Your hearing care professional
can instruct you on how to properly use this tool.
Changing the Sound Outlet Filter/
Cleaning the Sound Outlet
Your ReSound hearing instrument may be equipped with a
sound outlet filter (consult your hearing care professional).
This filter is located at the end of the sound outlet and prevents
debris from getting into the hearing instrument. If the hearing
instrument seems to have lost power and changing the bat-
tery does not help, the filter may be blocked, and needs to be
changed. Your hearing care professional can instruct you on
how to change the filter.
If your hearing instrument does not have a filter, ear wax and/
or other debris may collect in the sound channel. The clean-
ing loop, provided with your hearing instrument, can easily be
used to remove this material. Your hearing care professional
can instruct you on how to properly use this tool. When using
this tool, be careful not to damage or pull the tubing found at
the opening of the sound outlet. If this is pulled out, the hear-
ing instrument may need to be returned for repair.
