Maintenance and Care of the Hearing Aids
Your hearing aids are designed to resist moisture and perspiration; however, maintenance and care of your hearing aids is important to sustaining excellent performance and long life of the hearing aids. If your hearing aids are exposed to water, sweat, or excess dust, the aids must be cleaned and dried.
Cleaning your Mach I Thin Tubes and Eartips
Inspect your thin tubes and eartips for dirt, earwax, and moisture. If the thin tube or eartip is visibly dirty, do not try to clean them with chemicals or harsh detergents. The thin tube can be cleaned by inserting the thin tube cleaning wire all the way through the thin tube (see photo). Only use the thin tube wire provided in the package. The eartips can be cleaned with dish soap and water, or replacement eartips can be ordered.
Cleaning your Mach I Pro Receivers and Eartips
Inspect your eartips and receivers for signs of dirt, earwax and moisture. If there is debris in the eartip, remove it and clean it with a tissue or soft cloth. While the eartip is removed, inspect the receiver port for any wax or debris and clean with the brush as necessary. See user manual for exchanging wax guards.
