With spring in full bloom, it’s the perfect time to pay extra attention to an often-overlooked aspect of our well-being: hearing aid maintenance. Proper care and cleaning of your hearing aids can significantly extend their life and performance.
Keep your hearing aids in top shape all year long with regular cleaning and maintenance appointments so you can hear the life you love, whatever the weather.
Hearing Aid Cleaning: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Daily Cleaning Routine
To support optimal performance, wipe your hearing aids each night before bed with a soft, dry cloth. This removes sweat, oils and earwax that accumulate throughout the day.
Do not use water to clean your hearing aids, and do not submerge them underwater, as this can quickly damage them. Ensure your devices are dry and clear of sweat or water with a dedicated hearing aid dryer or bring your devices to us for a thorough check-up.
2. Weekly Deep Clean
Allocate some time each week for a more thorough cleaning of your hearing aids. Use a small brush (often included with your devices) to gently remove any debris from the microphone ports and other small openings. Swap wax guards as needed to keep clear tubing.
3. Monthly Professional Check-Up
Consider scheduling professional maintenance at least once a month; our team can perform a comprehensive check-up to ensure everything works as it should. This is also an opportunity to address any adjustments in fit or sound quality so that your hearing aids continue to serve you well.
Storing Your Hearing Aids: Safety Tips
1. Avoiding Moisture
Warmer months bring higher humidity levels, so always store your hearing aids in a dry place, using a dehumidifier if necessary to prevent moisture damage.
2. Using a Hard Storage Case
When not in use, keep your hearing aids safe in their charging case. This offers protection against accidental drops and exposure to dust or foreign debris.
When to Schedule Professional Check-ups
Even with diligent cleaning, professional check-ups are crucial. Your hearing aids deserve expert care to maintain their longevity and functionality. You can rely on our personalized services to address any concerns or upgrades.
