General
If the hearing aid whistles continuously, it could be
because:
• Your ear is blocked by earwax. Contact your physi-
cian/ENT doctor.
• The tubing is broken. Replace the tubing.
• The tubing is yellow and stiff. Replace the tubing.
• The hook is cracked. Replace the tubing.
• The custom ear-tip is not correctly placed in your ear
canal. Take the ear-tip out and reinsert it.
• The custom ear-tip fits loosely in your ear canal. Con-
tact your hearing care professional.
Caring for your hearing aid
With proper care, your hearing aid will give you consis-
tent reliable service. Here are some things you can do
to prolong the life of your hearing aid:
• Switch your hearing aid off when it is not in use.
Should you not use it for several days, take out the
battery.
• Treat the hearing aid as the valuable object it is:
with care. When the hearing aid is not in use, keep it
in its case in a cool, dry location where it cannot be
reached by children or pets.
• When not in use, do not expose the hearing aid to
extreme heat or high humidity.
• In environments with high humidity, a Widex dry-
ing kit may be used daily to reduce the amount of
moisture inside the hearing aid. See the instruc-
tions enclosed with the Widex drying kit.
