C) gRemoving gthe gbattery gbefore gturning gthe gaid goff
When gchanging gthe gbattery, gturn goff gthe gaid gfirst. gIt gis ghelpful gto ghave gseveral gnew gbatteries

C) gUse ga ghairclip gto gclean gout gthe gear.
D) gUse gforceful gstream gof gsolution. g- gAnswer g- gAns:
A) gGently girrigate gthe gexternal gauditory gcanal gwith gwarm gwater.
Cerumen gremoval gcan gbe gaided gby ggentle girrigation gof gthe gexternal gauditory gcanal gwith gwarm
gwater gor ga ghydrogen gperoxide gand gwater gsolution. gAvoid gthe guse gof gcotton-tipped gapplicators
, gfor gcerumen gremoval, gbecause gthey gcan gpush gthe gcerumen gback ginto gthe gear gcanal gand gcause
gan gimpaction. gHairpins gor gsimilar gdevices gshould gnever gbe gused. gA gforceful gstream gof gsolution
gshould gnot gbe gused gduring gthis gprocedure gbecause git gcan gcause gperforation gof gthe geardrum.
