Caring For Your Hearing Aids & Accessories
Your hearing aids and accessories are sophisticated electronic devices. To ensure
that you obtain the most from your hearing aids and accessories, you need to
protect them from the effects that might damage or degrade their performance. The
following describes the things that you can do to ensure maximum performance:
Hearing Aids
• Keep your ears clean from ear wax. If necessary, have your ears cleaned
regularly by a Physician.
• Dry your ears before inserting your hearing aids.
• Insert and remove your hearing aids over a soft surface in case it drops, as
they are sensitive to bumps and shocks.
• Do not immerse your hearing aids in water. Do not shower or swim with your
hearing aids.
• Store your hearing aids outside of the bathroom during bathing and showering.
• Do not wear your hearing aids upon applying hair spray, insect repellents, face
creams, or make-up.
• Never dry your hearing aids with a blow dryer, microwave oven, or oven.
• Store away from direct sunlight or heating vents. Do not leave them in a hot car.
• Wipe the outside surface with a soft cloth or tissue frequently.
• Keep the hearing aid in a safe place, out of the reach of pets and small children.
• Use hearing aid pouches provided for extended storage periods.
Foam Sleeves
• Change foam sleeves frequently to avoid wax build up.
• Do not immerse your foam sleeves in water.
• When removing foam sleeves, avoid wax getting into the hearing aid
speaker opening.
