• Regular use of a dehumidifier, such as a Dri-Aid kit,
can help prevent corrosion. See your hearing
healthcare professional for more information.
• Do not drop your hearing devices or knock them
against hard surfaces.
Cleaning Your Element
™
Hearing
Instruments
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your hearing
devices and earmolds are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance routine.
• Never use alcohol to clean your hearing devices or
earmolds.
• Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax. Sticking
household items into your hearing devices or
earmolds can seriously damage them.
Cleaning the Earmolds
If your Element hearing devices have earhooks (see
“Using the Element BTE Guide”), your hearing healthcare
professional fit you with customized 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 ear wax
