The hearing aid
The hearing aid is a completely-in-canal hearing aid.
It is very important for the hearing aid’s performance
that it is kept free from earwax and dirt.
1. Clean your hearing aid daily with the soft cloth to
keep it dry and clean of earwax and dirt. Never clean
the hearing aid with water or cleaning solutions.
2. When the hearing aid is not in use, the battery
drawer should be left open, so as to ventilate the
hearing aid and allow it to dry.
We recommend that every time you take the hearing
aid out of your ear, you inspect the sound outlet, the
microphone opening in the battery drawer and the
relief vent opening to ensure that no wax or dirt has
gathered there.
Below is an example of how the sound outlet, relief
vent and microphone opening can be positioned in a
hearing aid provided with a short vent and a full length
vent, respectively. The positions can be slightly differ-
ent on your hearing aid.
1. Sound outlet
2. Relief vent (short)
3. Microphone opening
1. Sound outlet
2. Relief vent outlet (full length)
3. Relief vent inlet (full length)
4. Microphone opening
