Daily maintenance

It is important to keep your hearing aid clean and dry. On a daily basis, clean the hearing aids using a soft
cloth or tissue. In order to avoid damage due to humidity or excessive perspiration, the use of a drying kit
is recommended.

Custom hearing aids may have wax filters that protect against wax and moisture. It is recommended that
these are changed as needed.
