Daily Care Tips:
- Keep the device dry – Always remove the external processor before bathing or swimming. Store it overnight in a dry kit or dehumidifier.
- Clean regularly – Wipe the processor and cables with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, sprays, or harsh cleaning products.
- Check batteries – Ensure rechargeable batteries are fully charged and rotated. Always carry spare batteries when stepping out.
- Protect from damage – Use retention clips or headbands for children. Store the processor safely in a protective case when not in use.
- Monitor performance – Observe if the user responds to everyday sounds. If there’s a sudden drop in hearing, contact your audiologist immediately.
