                                            šThe summer months can present unique challenges for the hearing aid user.
Hereās are some top tips from Cheshire Hearing Centres to ensure you make the most of the warmer months.
1. Always carry extra batteries - or go rechargeable
With more time spent outdoors or travelling, having an extra set of batteries on hand is crucial. Rechargeable hearing aids are also an option. Just make sure you remember to pack your charger
2. Keep your hearing aids dry
Hearing aids perform best when kept dry, even if they are water-resistant. Bring a soft cloth or a microfibre towel to protect them from sweat, moisture and sun tan products. Wipe your hearing aids down a few times throughout the day to remove any moisture or debris.
3. Protect your hearing aids from heat
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures can damage your hearing aids. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in a hot car or direct sunlight for extended periods. 
4. Regularly clean your hearing aids
Summer activities can expose your hearing aids to dirt, sweat, and sand. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help keep your devices functioning optimally.
