General information
Before using hair spray or applying cosmetics, you should
remove your hearing aid from your ear because these
products may damage it.
When you are not using your hearing aid, leave the
battery door open so that any moisture can evaporate.
Make sure that you always completely dry your hearing
aid after use. Store the hearing aid in a safe, dry and
clean place.

Your hearing aids are resistant to water, sweat and dust
under the following conditions:
• The battery door is fully closed. Ensure that no foreign
object such as hair is caught in the battery door when it
is closed.
• After exposure to water, sweat or dust, the hearing aid
is cleaned and dried.
• The hearing aid is used and maintained as described in
this user guide.
Hearing aids with a design-integrated Roger
receiver are also water resistant.
Hearing aids with an audio shoe and Roger
universal receiver are not water resistant.
Use of your hearing aid around water can restrict
air ow to the batteries causing it to stop
working. Should your hearing aid stop working
after coming into contact with water, refer to the
troubleshooting steps in chapter 17.

intensively, ask your hearing care professional for advice
and information on lters or drying capsules.

special cleaning cloth for hearing aids. For more in depth
