Daily Tips for Caring for Your Hearing Aids

Simple Steps to Keep Your Hearing Aids Clean and Working Well

If your hearing aids use disposable batteries, make sure to check and replace them often. Weak batteries can cause poor sound or stop your hearing aids from working.

Check Your Batteries Regularly

Earwax can block the sound from your hearing aids. Check them daily for earwax and gently clean it off with a special hearing aid cleaning tool.

Watch for Earwax Buildup

If your hearing aids have earmolds, clean them once a week with mild soap and water. Make sure they are completely dry before putting them back on your hearing aids.

Clean Earmolds Weekly

Use a hearing aid drying kit or dehumidifier overnight to remove moisture, which can damage your hearing aids over time.

Use a Drying Kit at Night

Look at the microphone ports for dust or dirt. Clean them gently with a soft brush to keep them clear and working properly.

Check Microphone Ports

Keep your hearing aids away from hairspray, lotion, or perfume, which can clog the tiny parts and harm your hearing aids.

Avoid Hairspray and Lotions

Don’t leave your hearing aids in very hot or cold places, like a car in the summer. Extreme temperatures can damage your hearing aids.

Protect From Extreme Temperatures

Every morning, test your hearing aids by listening to familiar sounds. If the sound seems off or unclear, they may need cleaning or repair.
