1.  Cleaning the Hearing Aid

• A soft dry cloth or tissue can be used to clean the hearing aids when you remove them from your ears. 
  
• Do not use water or any solvent cleaning agents, which can damage the electronic circuitry. 

• Use the cleaning tools (e.g. brush, vent cleaner, etc.) you were provided with to remove any wax or debris from inside the hearing aids.

2.  Changing the Wax Filter

• The filter is designed to protect your hearing aid from wax and you will need to change this filter regularly. 
  
• Your audiologist will have instructed you on how to do this, and written instructions are also available in your manual. 
  
• Ask your audiologist how often you should be changing this filter. 
  
• Replacement filters can be ordered through the Mount Sinai Hospital Hearing Aid Dispensary.
