Hearing Aid Care

Daily cleaning and regular service is extremely important for your hearing aid. Proper care extends the life of your hearing aid and ensures proper hygiene.

Caring for Your Hearing Aid:

• Store your hearing aid in a safe place that’s dry and cool.
• Change the batteries often so they don’t suddenly run out of power.
• Switch off your hearing aid when not using it. If not needed for a long period of time, remove the battery.
• Clean battery contacts regularly. Use a cotton swab, and don’t bend the contacts. Dirty battery contacts cause improper device function.
• Remove earwax from your hearing aid to prevent temporary malfunction or permanent damage. Change filters often so they don’t collect wax or dirt.
• Clean your hearing aid using the small brush or the soft cloth that came with it. Never insert tools into the sound outlet. Doing so could damage the receiver. If you can’t clean the hearing aid completely, ask your hearing professional for help.
