How to maintain the hearing aid

1, cleaning and maintenance:

Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth or a sponge soaked with detergent. When cleaning the hearing aid, use a professional brush to remove the earwax or other tiny particles that accumulate around the ear canal of the hearing aid, the volume adjustment knob, and the battery compartment. Then gently wipe the hearing aid with a soft cloth.

Earplug cleaning and disinfection method: Take it off from the hearing aid, rinse it with water, or wipe it with alcohol. After the earplugs are dry, install it on the hearing aid.

Note: Be careful not to pour liquid on the instrument during cleaning. Make sure that no liquid enters the inside of the instrument. Take special care when wiping to ensure that no water can enter.

Never use solvents, cleaning fluids or oils to clean your hearing aids.

Because the hearing aids are very delicate, it is best to carry them on the tablecloth with a soft cloth or towel during cleaning and maintenance to avoid unnecessary damage or missing parts.

2, damp:

If the hearing aid is damp, do not use a drying tool such as an oven, microwave or hair dryer, which can damage the hearing aid.

The correct method: remove the damp battery, open the hearing aid battery door, put the hearing aid on a towel and store it in a safe place to achieve the purpose of flooding.

3. The preservation of hearing aids:

When the hearing aid is not in use, turn the switch off and open the battery door to extend battery life.

If the hearing aid is not turned off, it will make a “beep” howling that may cause the child or pet to notice and cause unnecessary damage.

Therefore, store the hearing aid in a place where children or pets are not easily found. If the hearing aid is not used for a long time, store it in a special pocket and store it in a cool, dry place.

4, daily processing:

It is important to keep the hearing aid clean and dry at all times. The battery door should be opened when the hearing aid is not worn, which will extend battery life.

When turning on the hearing aid, turn the volume knob forward or clockwise until it is in the proper position. To change the listening environment, if you want to increase the volume, rotate the knob forward. To decrease the volume, adjust the knob backwards or counterclockwise.

5, howling

When the hearing aid is turned on, it makes a “beep” howling, especially when it is taken out or placed in a hearing aid. Howling is often caused by the amplified sound being reflected by the hand or other objects and then re-acquired into the microphone.

When the hand or reflector is removed, the howling should stop. If there is a continuous howling, consult a professional such as the hearing aid customer service.
