Cleaning Your Unison
™
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 Unison hearing devices have earhooks (see
“Using the Unison Digital 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
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.
