Cleaning your hearing aids
Use a so cloth to clean your hearing aid at the
end of each day, and place it in its case with
the battery door open to allow moisture to
evaporate.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Using the brush that was provided with your
hearing aids, clean ear wax from your hearing
aids everyday.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
can seriously damage them.
Talk to your hearing healthcare professional
about regular appointments to have the wax
removed from your hearing aids.
Assistive listening devices
Listening in public places
Telecoils pick up electromagnetic energy
and convert it into sound. Your hearing aid
may have a telecoil option that can help you
listen in public places equipped with telecoil
compatible assistive listening devices such
as a loop system. When you see this
symbol, it means that there is a loop
system installed; this loop system
is compatible with your hearing aid. Please
contact your hearing healthcare professional for
more information on loop systems.
