Caring for your hearing aids
Protecting your hearing aids
If your hearing aids are rechargeable:
•
Place in charging base when not in use.
•
If your hearing aids are non-rechargeable:
Open the battery doors when not in use.
•
Always remove your hearing aids when
•
using hair care products. The hearing aids
can become clogged and cease to function
properly.
Do not wear your hearing aids in the bath or
•
shower or immerse them in water.
If your hearing aids do become wet, do not
•
attempt to dry them in an oven or microwave.
Do not adjust any controls. Open the battery
doors immediately, remove the batteries and
allow your hearing aids to dry naturally for
24 hours.
Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat
•
(hair dryer, vehicle glove box or dashboard).
Ensure you do not twist or squeeze the wire
•
when your hearing aids are placed in their case.

Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a
•
Clean Dry kit, can help prevent corrosion and
prolong the life of your hearing aids. Remove
batteries before using a dehumidifier.
Do not drop your hearing aids or knock them
•
against hard surfaces.
