It is important to keep your hearing aids clean and well-
functioning. The Care Kit is a collection of items which will
help you to take good care of the hearing aids to ensure
optimum performance. The following is a list of the Care
Kit items and instructions for their use.
1. Air Puffer
Use the air puffer to blow moisture out of the earmould
after cleaning or after daily use.
2. Battery Tester
We recommend that you test the batteries in your hearing aids
every morning to make sure that there is plenty of power left for
the day. The red light indicates that the battery is still good.
3. Battery Disposal Box
Fold open the box and use it for storing used batteries until they
can be safely disposed of.
4. Cleaning Cloth
Use the soft cloth daily to gently clean the hearing aid (not the
earmould) after daily use. To clean the earmould, please refer
to the user instructions you received with the hearing aid.
5. Cleaning Brush
Use the cleaning brush to gently clean around all openings
in the hearing aid after daily use.
6. Drying Kit for Hearing Aids
The Drying Kit removes moisture from the hearing aid.
Please refer to page 9 for Drying Kit instructions.
7. Listening Set for Parents
If you are the parent of a child with hearing loss, it is important
for you to understand your child’s reactions to his or her hearing
aids – especially if your child indicates that something is wrong.

While older children may be able to explain a problem in words,
younger children may react to malfunctioning hearing aids by
refusing to wear them, crying, or by reacting to sounds in an
unusual way such as seeming confused or startled.
The Listening Set allows you to listen to your child’s hearing
aids to make sure that they are functioning properly.
The Listening Set comes with two different tubes. Filters are
placed in the tubes which reduce the volume so you can listen to
the amplified sound from the hearing aid without damaging your
own hearing. The red tube has two filters (see fig. 1, page 5)
which reduce the volume by an average of 30 dB so you can
safely listen to power hearing aids. The clear tube has one filter
which reduces the volume by an average of 15 dB so you can hear
the sound from moderate power hearing aids.
Procedure
Start by making sure that you are in a quiet listening environment.1.
If the instruments your child uses are power aids such 2.
as 18, 19, 32, or 38 models: Make sure that the red tube with
two filters is connected to the Listening Set (fig. 1, page 5).
Then connect the hearing aid to the tube as shown in fig. 2,
page 6. The plastic tube fits over the end of the hearing aid ear
hook. The fit can be very tight, especially the first time. Place
the Listening Set ends into your ears and turn the hearing aid
on. If this tube reduces the volume too much (if you cannot
hear your own voice through the hearing aid), change to the
clear tube with one filter as described below.
If the instruments your child uses are of moderate power
such as m, 8 or 9 models: Remove the red tube from the
Listening Set by snapping off the plastic connector. Snap the
plastic connector of the clear tube with one filter onto the
Fig. 1.
