Cleaning your Hearing Instruments
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your hearing devices, earmolds and domes are free of ear wax is an important step in your daily cleaning and maintenance routine.
•Never use alcohol to clean your hearing devices, earmolds or domes.
•Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax. Sticking household items into your hearing devices or earmolds can seriously damage them.
Passport Hearing Instruments with Earmolds
Earmolds send amplified 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 earwax. 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.
If the earmolds require further cleaning, disconnect the plastic tube from the hook of the hearing devices.
