Modern hearing aids are fantastic, but they do need cleaning, so below are some tips to keep your hearing aids in top condition.
1. Keep them clean by wiping regularly with a dry cloth or tissue. Remove ear wax as this can cause temporary malfunction.
2. Avoid getting your hearing aids wet (e.g., wearing them in the shower or heavy rain). If your hearing aids are exposed to moisture or very humid conditions, remove the batteries, and place the hearing aids in a dry storage kit. Never use a hair dryer or microwave oven to attempt to dry them.
3. Avoid chemicals such as aftershave lotion, hairspray, oils, and perfume. They contain chemicals which can have detrimental effects on your hearing aids. Always remove your hearing aids before applying such products and allow time for the product to dry before putting your hearing aids back on.
4. Avoid extreme temperatures by not exposing them to extreme heat such as leaving them in your car on our hot summer days.
