Your hearing instrument has either a Dome or a Receiver
Mold.
C-Guard
Domes and Receiver Molds include integrated C-Guard

Xthree months.
Receiver MoldDome

Daily cleaning
Cerumen (ear wax) on the C-Guard affects sound quality.
Remove wax with a soft tissue.
XNo other tools are required.
The Dome/ Receiver Mold cleans best
right after taking the hearing instru-
ments off. This way Cerumen can not dry
and harden.
If there is dried cerumen on the C-Guard,
Xmoisten the soft tissue with a cerumen
solvent
Dab the C-Guard with the moistened tissue and wait a
Xshort period of time, this will loosen the cerumen.
NOTICE
Domes, Receiver Molds and C-Guards are easily dama-
ged when handled wrongly.
Never use brushes or sharp objects for cleaning.
XNever use running water or immerse the hearing in-Xstrument.
Never use pressure or rotating action while cleaning.
XDon't spray cerumen solvent directly onto theXC-Guard!
Do not pull the receiver out of the Receiver Mold.
