To avoid damage to your hearing aids, it is important to give proper care and maintenance to effectively extend their lifespan. For example, if you work in a humid environment or tend to sweat a lot, it is recommended to use a special hearing aid dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage.
-
Keep your hands clean and dry before putting on your hearing aids.
-
Clean your hearing aids regularly to prevent earwax buildup from clogging the device.
-
Remove your hearing aids before showering or washing your hair and avoid exposing them to water.
-
Avoid dropping or banging your hearing aids.
-
When not in use, remove the batteries and store the hearing aids in a drying box or special dehumidifier.
-
If you won’t be using your hearing aids for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent moisture damage caused by battery corrosion.
-
For Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids, regularly replace the ear tubes to prevent hardening and cracking, which can cause abnormal sounds.
-
Visit the company or your hearing care provider every 2–3 months for maintenance and testing to ensure your hearing aids perform at their best.
