🦻🏼 How to look after your hearing aids

Your hearing aids are more than just devices, they’re an investment in your health and quality of life.

Proper care and maintenance will not only ensure they perform at their best but also extend their lifespan, keeping you connected to the world around you.

Top Tips for Hearing Aid Care:

• Clean them daily: Remove debris or wax buildup with the tools provided.

• Store them safely: Use a protective case when not in use and keep them away from moisture, extreme heat, or pets.

• Check the batteries: Replace or recharge as needed to avoid interruptions.

👂🏼Ear wax removal process

Microsuction is a gentle and effective method of earwax removal. Using a small suction device, your clinician carefully removes any earwax while viewing the ear through a head loupe ensuring full visibility of the ear canal at all times.

Afterward, you’ll be given clear advice on how to care for your ears. A tiny device gently suctions the wax from your ear canal. Unlike irrigation, it’s a dry procedure, meaning no water is used, so in most cases, softening drops aren’t needed beforehand.

At Herts Hearing, we make sure your ear care experience is comfortable, safe, and effective.

📢 Hearing awareness

How loud is too loud?

Sounds below 70 dB (decibels)—like a normal conversation—are generally considered safe for your hearing. However, exposure to sounds above 70 dB over time can lead to permanent hearing damage.

Everyday sounds like city traffic (80-85 dB) or a lawnmower (90 dB) can cause harm if exposure is prolonged.

Protecting your hearing is as simple as lowering the volume, using ear protection in noisy environments, and limiting exposure time.

If you think your hearing could be changing, why not book an appointment to find out how we can help?

👂🏼Hearing loss awareness

On average, people with hearing loss wait 7 to 10 years before seeking treatment.

That’s nearly a decade of turning up the volume, asking people to repeat themselves, or missing out on parts of conversations that matter most. Over time, untreated hearing loss can affect communication, relationships, confidence, and even cognitive health.

However, the good news is that modern hearing care is more effective, discreet, and accessible than ever before. Early assessment can make a world of difference, not only for your hearing, but for your overall quality of life.

Book an appointment today if you or someone you know could benefit from a hearing test.

*What to expect during a hearing test*

At Herts Hearing, we offer a calm and welcoming space to discuss your hearing needs.

During your hearing assessment, we’ll talk about your lifestyle and where you’d like to improve your hearing. We’ll then carry out a gentle ear examination, check how your middle ear is working, and complete a full hearing test.

Afterwards, we’ll explain your results clearly and create a tailored plan that fits you and your lifestyle.
