Cleaning Your Hearing Aids - Unitron Stride P Pro Guide D'utilisation

Cleaning your hearing aids

Use a soft cloth to clean your hearing aid at the
end of each day, and place it in its case with
the battery door open to allow moisture to
evaporate.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
earmolds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
or earmolds can seriously damage them.
Cleaning your earmolds
Clean the earmold and the
outside of the earhook with a
damp cloth at the end of each
day. Avoid getting any water in
and around the hearing aids.
Do not use alcohol to clean your earmolds.
If the earmolds become plugged, clear the
28
opening with a wax loop or pipe cleaner.
If your physician prescribes eardrops, clean
any moisture that may get into the earmolds or
tubing to prevent plugging.
If the earmolds require further cleaning:
1. Disconnect the plastic tube from the hook of
the hearing aid, by holding the hearing aid in
one hand and gently pulling the tubing away
from the earhook.
2. Wash only the earmolds and tubing in warm
water with a mild soap.
3. Rinse them with cool water and dry
overnight.
4. Make sure the earmold tubes are completely
dry. Reconnect them to the earhook on your
hearing aid by sliding the tubing back on
to the earhook. Use of a hearing aid blower
can assist with removing moisture/debris
from the tube. See your hearing healthcare
professional for more information.
