Everyday practical tips on Hearing Aid Maintenance

Keeping your hearing aids in top condition doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple habits, you can ensure they provide clear sound and last longer:

Clean your hearing aids daily: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them down and a small brush to remove any earwax or debris from the microphone and receiver.
Store your devices safely: When not in use, keep your hearing aids in a protective case or a drying box to prevent moisture damage.
Avoid exposure to water and heat: Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming, or using a hairdryer.
Replace wax filters regularly: Clogged wax guards can block sound, so make sure to change them as recommended.
Check battery life: Always have spare batteries on hand or ensure your rechargeable devices are fully charged.
Schedule professional check-ups: Visit your audiologist at least once a year for a thorough cleaning and device adjustment.
