Hearing Aid Care and Cleaning

Taking good care of your hearing aids can help extend their life and ensure they continue to perform well. Here are some useful tips.

• Clean your hearing aids every day.
• Use a soft cloth, tissue or special hearing aid brush to wipe the outside.
• Use a wax loop or brush to remove ear wax and other debris. Never use a straight pin or other sharp object to clean wax from your hearing aids.
• Replace behind-the-ear earmolds when they become dry, cracked, stiff or discoloured.

Storing

• Store hearing aids in a cool, dry place.
• Open the battery doors when they’re not in use.
• Protect your hearing aids from excessive heat (hair dryer, vehicle glove compartment or dashboard).

Care

• Do not get hearing aids wet. Remove hearing aids when swimming, showering, perspiring, etc.
• Do not apply hair care products before putting on your hearing aids.
• Do not drop or bang your hearing aids on hard surfaces.

Batteries

• Store batteries in a dry, safe location away from children and pets.
• Replace dead batteries immediately.
