Maintaining your hearing aids with the right cleaning products is essential to ensure clear sound, good hygiene and device longevity. One of the most convenient options is hearing aid wipes—quick, effective and easy to use, whether you're at home or on the go.
Hearing aid cleaning wipes are disposable cloths pre-moistened with a gentle, non-corrosive solution. They’re made specifically for hearing aids and earmoulds, and are safe to use on plastic, silicone and metal parts. Unlike regular household wipes, they won’t damage the electronics or leave behind harmful residues.
Cleaning your hearing aids with the right wipes can help prevent blockages, reduce the risk of infection and keep sound quality at its best. Many wipes are individually wrapped, making them convenient for travel or daily use outside the home.
Daily use of hearing aid cleansing wipes helps maintain hygiene and device performance. Hearing aids are in constant contact with your skin and ear canal, so they naturally accumulate wax, oils and debris. If not cleaned properly, this build-up can muffle sound or cause the device to malfunction.
Cleansing wipes are quick to use, safe on sensitive materials, and often recommended by audiologists. They also help reduce the spread of bacteria, which is especially important for people with sensitive ears or frequent ear infections.
Hearing aid wipes are made from soft, non-woven fabric that is gentle on delicate hearing aid components. They are pre-moistened with a specially formulated cleaning solution that is typically alcohol-free, dermatologically tested, and non-corrosive, making them safe for daily use on both the hearing aid casing and earmoulds.
The solution used in these wipes is designed to remove earwax, oils, dust and moisture without damaging the materials or affecting sound quality. Some variants also have mild antibacterial properties, helping to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.

Proper usage ensures maximum benefit. Here's a simple step-by-step:
Avoid using excess moisture or pressing too hard, as this can damage sensitive parts.
Hearing aid wipes are suitable for most types of modern hearing aids, including:
These wipes are designed to safely clean the outer surfaces of hearing aids and earmoulds, regardless of their shape or size. They are ideal for removing earwax, skin oils and moisture from microphone ports, housings and tubing.
However, it’s important to note that wipes should not be used inside the sound outlet or battery compartment, and are not meant for deep internal cleaning. For custom-moulded devices or rechargeable models, Amplifon specialists can provide specific cleaning advice during your regular appointments.
When selecting wipes for hearing aids, it’s important to look for products that are dermatologically tested, quick-drying and alcohol-free. These wipes are less likely to irritate the skin or affect materials like silicone and acrylic. Individually wrapped wipes also ensure better hygiene, especially if you’re cleaning your hearing aids while out and about.
Antiseptic wipes for hearing aids may contain alcohol or strong chemicals that can degrade plastic or silicone components over time. If you're concerned about hygiene—for example, after an illness—it’s best to choose hearing aid disinfectant wipes that are clearly marked as safe for hearing devices.
While baby wipes may seem gentle, they are not suitable for hearing aids. Most baby wipes contain moisturisers, fragrances or oils that can leave a residue or damage delicate components. Additionally, they may be too moist, increasing the risk of liquid seeping into electronic parts. Always use cleaning wipes for hearing aids that are specifically designed for that purpose.
The answer is generally no. Alcohol can dry out rubber components, fade coloured plastics, and over time weaken parts of the hearing aid. For this reason, hearing aid wipes alcohol-free are the recommended option. They clean effectively without causing damage or irritation, and are gentle enough for regular use.
