Handling
Put on the hearing aid with sound hook

hook and mould.
The mould is
customised for you
and fits your ear
shape. The moulds
are unique for the
left or the right ear.
Gently pull your
ear outwards and
press the mould in
the direction of the
ear canal, twisting
slightly.
Place the hearing aid
behind your ear.
Step 1 Step 2
Caring for your hearing aid
When handling your hearing aid, hold it over a soft surface to avoid
damage in case you drop it.
Clean the microphone openings
Carefully brush any debris away
from the openings. Gently brush
the surface. Make sure the brush
is not pressed into the openings.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the hearing aid. The hearing aid must
never be washed or immersed in water or other liquids.

regularly. Use a soft cloth to
clean the surface of the mould.

to clean the opening.
Replace the tube
The tubing between the mould
and the hearing aid should be
replaced if it becomes yellow or
stiff. Consult your hearing care
professional about this.

which mould is for
which hearing aid
before disconnect-
ing them from the
hearing aid.

Put on hearing aid with thin tube (Corda miniFit)
Read the following pages if your hearing aid has a thin tube.
Place the hearing aid
behind your ear.
The thin tube should
only be used with
an attached ear-
piece. Use only parts
designed for your
hearing aid.
Hold the bend of
the tube between
your thumb and
index finger. The
earpiece should
point towards the
ear canal opening.
Gently push the
earpiece into your
ear canal until the
thin tube sits close to
your head. If the thin
tube has an ear grip,
place it in the ear so it
follows the contour of
the ear.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
Clean the thin tube
The thin tube should be cleaned to keep it clear of moisture and
wax. If not cleaned, it may become blocked with wax, which stops
sound from coming out.
Pull the thin tube
out of the hearing
aid.
Push the cleaning
tool all the way
through the thin
tube.
Reconnect the thin
tube to the hearing
aid.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

is filled with wax, replace it with a new one. Grip Tips should be
replaced at least once a month.
Hold on to the end
of the thin tube and
then pull off the
earpiece.
Insert the thin tube
exactly into the
middle of the
earpiece to obtain a
secure attachment.
Push firmly to ensure
that the earpiece is
fastened securely.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
IMPORTANT NOTICE
If the earpiece is not on the thin tube when removed from the ear,
the earpiece may still be in the ear canal. Consult your hearing care
professional for further instructions.
