18 19The first month and beyondThings you need to knowThe first few weeks with your Bragi Ears will be a time of adaptation. Your voice and the world around you will sound different. Likely, you will hear details you might not have heard for a long time. Things like doors closing, keys jingling or the sounds of traffic can suddenly sound very loud.*After some time, your brain will focus on the important sounds like speech and blend out other, less important ones like e.g. the swishing of a plastic bag. This adaptation usually happens within two to four weeks.Enjoy hearing!Keep the volume of your Bragi Ears low during the first days of use: Your brain needs some time to adjust to those new inputs.*

22 23Product CareHow to clean Your Bragi EarsDaily careThe speakers and microphones of your Bragi Ears are protected by a mesh. This prevents earwax and water from entering the device. To maintain its high sound quality and performance, we recommend cleaning both earpieces daily to avoid wax or other debris plugging up the mesh over time.Long-term careTo keep your ears clean, we recommend replacing the Silicone / Foam Tips every 2-3 months. You can easily order replacements in your preferred size online at www.bragi.com/shopbragi.com/shopWaterproof IPX7: Bragi Ears are waterproof up to 1 meter, so you don’t have to worry when you forgot removing them before taking a shower! Nevertheless, do not clean them under running water. Doing so may cause damage to the mesh. Also, be sure to avoid using any harsh substances or detergents when cleaning the devices.Make cleaning a daily habit: Check your Bragi Ears in the morning before inserting them into your ears. If you see wax or debris, let it dry and then gently brush it off with the provided cleaning tool.
