How to maintain hearing aids?

Modern hearing aids are more durable, easy to operate and reliable. However, some simple precautions can ensure that your hearing aid will provide you with years of trouble free service.

1. Avoid soiling the hearing aid

Keep your fingers clean and dry before operating the hearing aid. The microphone interface is only tens of millimeters (1 / 16-1 / 8 inch) wide, which is easy to block.

2. Avoid striking and collision of sharp objects

Wear and remove hearing aids on a soft surface (bed or sofa).

3. Keep the hearing aid away from the heat source

Never place the hearing aid in a place where it may overheat. Avoid direct sunlight (at home or in parked vehicles), and do not put it around the heating.

4. Avoid humidity

Remove the hearing aid before showering, bathing, or swimming. Do not leave the hearing aid in the bathroom, it may be damaged by moisture. Regularly dry the sweat in and around the ears. Moisture and condensation can damage the circuitry in the hearing aid. We recommend opening the battery compartment at night and using special tools available from hearing care experts.

5. Keep hearing aids away from children and pets

Dogs do not like the feedback sound (howling), but are attracted by the owner’s smell, which often leads to chewing hearing aids. It’s dangerous if the hearing aid battery is swallowed. If the battery is swallowed accidentally, please see a doctor immediately.

6. Avoid contact with cosmetics or hair gel

The tiny particles produced by cosmetics and hair gels can easily block the microphone’s entrance. Always remove the hearing aid before using the product.

7. Clean the hearing aid carefully

Clean the hearing aid with a soft dry cloth. Alcohol, solvents and cleaning fluids can damage electronic circuits.

8. Keep ears clean

Keep your ears clean. If the sound of the hearing aid weakens, it may be because the sound outlet or the earwax filter is blocked by earwax or dirt. You can get special cleaning products from hearing care experts.

9. Keep hearing aids in a safe place

When the hearing aid is not used, it should be put in a packing box or a special dry box. When it is not used for a long time, the battery should be taken out.

10. Ask experts to repair

Screwdrivers and oils can cause fatal damage to hearing aids. Only contact with electronic devices or small forces may cause irreparable damage. Let hearing care experts provide services for your hearing aids.

Cleaning and maintenance of the inner ear hearing aid

1. Hearing care experts will provide you with special information about the cleaning of hearing aids and may recommend a special cleaning tool.

2. Water and solvents can damage electronic circuits. After each removal of the hearing aid, clean it with a soft dry cloth.

3. Remove the accumulated earwax every day. When using ear wax removers such as brushes, the hearing aid should be cleaned from the bottom up. This prevents some earwax or dirt from entering the hearing aid.

4. If the sound of the hearing aid decreases, it may be because the sound outlet or the earwax filter is blocked by earwax. Filters should be replaced or a hearing care professional consulted.

Note: in ear hearing aids are particularly vulnerable to earwax, moisture, or dirt. Because the electronics and the housing are integrated.

Cleaning and maintenance of ear back hearing aids

Clean the ear mold every day. Wipe with a dry soft cloth and check the opening of the ear mold frequently to make sure it is not blocked by earwax. Blocked openings will prevent sound from entering your ears. Ear molds should be cleaned weekly.

Consult a hearing care professional if:

– pain or discomfort caused by ear mold

– can’t remove earwax from ear mold

– the tube turns yellow or brittle

– the hearing aid screams, unable to set the appropriate volume

Important tips

Before cleaning, make sure to separate the ear mold from the hearing aid. Hearing aids should never touch water. Before connecting the two parts, make sure that they are completely dry. When connecting the ear mold and the hearing aid, make sure that the arc parts of the ear mold and the hearing aid are matched.
