Cleaning Your Hearing Aid
The following instructions will assist in extending the life of
your hearing aid.
To Clean the Exterior of the Hearing Aid:
You should inspect your hearing aid daily and clean it
periodically to control build-up of dust, dirt and wax. To clean,
wipe the surface very gently with a soft, dry cloth or use only
moist cleaning wipes made especially for hearing aids.
To Clean the Sound Tube and Ear Dome:
The sound tube delivers the amplified sound from the
hearing aid into the ear. It is important that the sound tube
and the ear dome fit properly in your ear. The materials used
in your hearing aid are of the highest quality available, and
the likelihood of an allergic reaction is low. If the sound
tube or the ear dome irritates your ear in any way, contact
your GOhear Hearing Care Professional.
The tube and dome should be cleaned regularly according
to the instructions on the following pages.
Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the sound tube
and dome. Do not rinse or submerge these parts in water,
as there is a risk of damage if a water droplet becomes
trapped in the sound tube. If this should occur, it will
prevent sound from coming through the tube and may be
harmful to the hearing aid's electronics.
