Tips for Caring for Your Hearing Aids

Hearing aids are a big investment. Having a regular cleaning regimen in place is the best way to make sure

your investment lasts as long as possible. Here are some easy-to-remember tips for caring for your hearing aids

on a daily basis…

Clean and disinfect your hearing aids daily with a

disinfectant spray that can be purchased from your

hearing healthcare professional.

Turn the hearing aids off when not in use or for overnight storage by opening the battery

door. Leaving the battery door open will

also allow any accumulated moisture

to dry.

Remove the hearing aids before using hair spray.

Hairspray can gum up the microphone and keep

sound from entering the hearing aid or decreasing

the amount of sound coming to the hearing aids

internal circuitry.

Do not expose your hearing aids to excessive heat, moisture or humidity.

Doing so may damage the hearing aid casing that

requires the hearing aid to be sent away for repair.

Do not wear your hearing aids while

bathing, showering, or swimming.

Water and moisture are not your hearing aid’s

friend.

Keep hearing aids away from pets.

Dogs, in particular, are curious about feedback sounds

that are sometimes produced by hearing aids.
