1. Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the performance of your hearing aids. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the devices daily and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning the microphone and speaker openings.


2. Battery Care

Proper battery care extends the life of your hearing aids. For disposable batteries, keep a supply of fresh batteries on hand and store them in a cool, dry place. For rechargeable batteries, follow the recommended charging schedule and avoid exposing the hearing aids to extreme temperatures.


3. Professional Check-Ups

Regular check-ups with your hearing care professional ensure that your hearing aids are functioning correctly. They can perform adjustments, deep cleanings, and software updates as needed.


4. Protecting from Moisture

Protecting your hearing aids from moisture is vital. Remove them before swimming or showering and use a hearing aid dehumidifier if you live in a humid environment or perspire heavily.


5. Avoiding Physical Damage

Avoid dropping your hearing aids and handle them with care. Store them in a protective case when not in use and keep them out of reach of pets and small children.
