Hearing Aid Maintenance Tips

To help your hearing aid stay comfortable and functional for as long as possible, follow these simple tips:

• Clean your hearing aid carefully whenever you take it out at night. Using any kind of soap, alcohol, or water is not recommended. Your audiologist or hearing aid manufacturer can provide specific instructions for the model you use.
• Do not expose your hearing aid to excessive heat or moisture. Always remember to take it off before you take a shower or go for a swim, and be sure not to leave it in the car on a hot day.
• Hairsprays and gels are not recommended for people who wear hearing aids. They can come into contact with your hearing aid and damage it.
• Keep your hearing aid well out of reach of children and pets.
• To preserve the batteries, turn your hearing aid off whenever you take it out.
