10 Ways to keep your hearing aids going strong

Here are 10 ways to maintain your hearing aids:

1. Keep them clean: Use a soft, dry cloth or a specialized cleaning brush to remove any dirt or debris from the surface of your hearing aids.  Avoid using any liquids or solvents, as these can damage the electronics.

2. Store them properly: When you're not wearing your hearing aids, store them in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight and heat. Handle with care: Avoid dropping your hearing aids as this can cause damage to the internal components. If you do drop them, have them checked by a professional as soon as possible to ensure they are still functioning properly.

3.  Avoid moisture: Don't expose your hearing aids to water or other liquids, as this can damage the internal components. Make sure to remove your hearing aids before showering or swimming. Keep them dry: After use, wipe down your hearing aids with a soft, dry cloth to help remove moisture and prevent any build-up of wax. Replace the domes regularly: Replace the rubber domes on your hearing aids every few months in order to ensure the best sound quality and to avoid any damage.  Check your ear: Make sure to check your ears regularly for wax build-up or other debris that may be affecting the performance of your hearing aids.

4. Change the batteries regularly: Replace the batteries in your hearing aids as soon as they run out of power to ensure optimal performance. Have them serviced: Have your hearing aids professionally serviced every 6-12 months to make sure they are operating correctly. This will help keep them running smoothly and prolong their lifespan.  Protect from dust: Avoid exposing your hearing aids to dust or other particles, as this can cause damage to the circuitry. If you notice any dirt on your hearing aids, use a soft brush or vacuum attachment to carefully remove it. Keep them away from heat: Don't leave your hearing aids in direct sunlight or near any source of high heat, as this can cause damage. Make sure to keep them at an even temperature when not in use.

5.  Handle them with care: Be gentle when handling your hearing aids, and avoid dropping or banging them against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the internal components and affect their performance.

6.  Check for wax buildup: Regularly check for earwax buildup on the earmold or tubing of your hearing aid, and clean it with a specialized tool if necessary. This will help ensure maximum sound quality and protect the circuitry from any damage.

7.  Schedule regular check-ups: Visit your audiologist or hearing healthcare professional regularly to have your hearing aids cleaned, adjusted, and serviced.

8.  Avoid exposure to loud noises: Loud noises can damage both your ears and your hearing aids, so try to limit exposure to noisy environments whenever possible.

9.  Use protective covers: Consider using protective covers for your hearing aids if you work in dusty or dirty environments, or if you engage in sports activities that may expose them to sweat or impact.

10.  Follow manufacturer's instructions: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintaining your specific type of hearing aid model, as different models may have varying requirements.
