Daily cleaning care
Wipe the tubing and dome using a wet wipe.
Ensure it is dry afterwards.
Regular cleaning care
1
Separate the tubing from the hearing aid by unscrewing (clockwise) the tubing away from the hearing aid.
You do not need to disconnect the dome from the tubing.
2
Feed the cleaning rod through the hole in the top of the tubing until it comes out of the dome.
You may need to move the end bit of plastic out of the way to allow the cleaning rod to come out the other end.

Screw the tubing and dome back into the hearing aid until you are unable to screw it any further.
Wipe down the cleaning rod as this can be reused.
