sound from the hearing devices
into the ears. They must fit into your ears snugly and
comfortably. If amplified sound
leaks out of your ear, you may hear whistling.
Always ensure earmolds are
clean and free of ear wax and moisture. Do not use alcohol to clean your earmolds. If the earmolds become plugged, clear the 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.
Cleaning the Earmolds
If the earmolds attach to an earhook and they require further cleaning, disconnect the plastic tube from the hook of the hearing devices. Wash only the earmolds in warm water with a mild soap. Rinse them with cool water and allow them to dry overnight. Make sure the earmold tubes are dry before reconnecting them to each hook on your hearing devices.
