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. For
further information regarding product safety, see
chapter 16.2.
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.
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
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 15.

22 23
Daily
Inspect the earpiece and tube for earwax and moisture
deposits. Clean the surfaces with a lint-free cloth. Never
use cleaning agents such as household detergents, soap,
etc. for cleaning your hearing aid. It is not recommended
to rinse these parts with water, risk for lodging in the
tube. 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 further
maintenance or cleaning instructions, please see your
hearing care professional.
Monthly
Inspect your hearing tube for color changes, hardening, or
cracks. In the case of such changes, the hearing tube has
to be replaced. Please see your hearing care professional.
