• Checking “Your hearing aid details” on page 3.
• Checking the marking on the inner side of the

Please ensure you use the correct type of battery in
your hearing aids (zinc-air). Please also read chapter
17.2 for further information on product safety.
Low power: You will hear two beeps when the battery

10. Care and maintenance
Diligent and routine care of your hearing aid contributes
to outstanding performance and a long service life.
Please use the following specications as a guideline.
Further information regarding product safety, see
chapter 17.2.
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.

19
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 the design-integrated Roger
receiver are also water resistant.
Hearing aids with an audio shoe and Roger X 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 16.

20
Daily
Inspect the earpiece for earwax and moisture deposits.
Clean the surfaces with a lint-free cloth or use the small
brush provided in the hearing aid hard case. Never use
cleaning agents such as household detergents, soap, etc.
for cleaning your hearing aid. It is not recommended to
rinse with water. If you need to clean your hearing aid
intensively, ask your hearing care professional for advice
and information on lters or drying capsules.
Weekly
Clean the earpiece with a soft, damp cloth or with a
special cleaning cloth for hearing aids. For more in depth
maintenance instructions or for more than basic cleaning,
please see your hearing care professional.

21
11. Exchanging the earwax
protection
Your hearing aid is equipped with an earwax protection to
protect the speaker from earwax damage.
Please check the earwax protector regularly and exchange
it if it looks dirty or if the hearing aid volume or sound
quality is reduced. The earwax protection should be
replaced every four to eight weeks.

Remove the earpiece from the
speaker by holding the speaker
