1. Cleaning the microphone of a hearing aid

A hearing aid typically consists of several parts: a microphone, a speaker, and a battery cover. If dirt or debris accumulates in the microphone, it can affect the sound quality and the device’s ability to pick up sounds accurately. Therefore, it’s important to use a cleaning brush to gently remove any dust or dirt from the microphone area. Keeping the hearing aid clean helps maintain its performance and ensures the microphone continues to capture sound clearly.

2. Dry the Moisture in the Sound Tube

Some hearing aids with sound tubes may accumulate moisture inside the tube. If the hearing aid is not stored in a dehumidifier box to dry it out, the sound may become muffled or quieter. Therefore, it is recommended to use an air blower to remove the moisture or store the hearing aid in a dehumidifier box to prevent condensation from remaining in the tube!

3. Try to use it within an effective conversation range.

Many people have overly high expectations of hearing aids, thinking that no matter how faint a sound is, they will hear it clearly immediately after wearing them. In reality, hearing aids are like glasses or a walking cane—they assist normal communication between people, especially within a conversation range of 1–3 meters at normal speaking volume. The optimal clarity is typically achieved within a 1-meter distance.

4. Wear custom-molded earpieces.

Everyone’s ear canal is different in size. It is recommended to order custom-molded earpieces for each individual. In addition to providing a more comfortable fit, custom earpieces for hearing aids enhance sound intensity by eliminating gaps between the ear and the device. Generally, the volume can increase by about 3 decibels, which is significant for those with hearing loss!

In fact, proper care and cleaning of a hearing aid not only improves hearing performance but also extends the device’s lifespan.
