The care and maintenance of hearing aids mainly includes the following aspects:

Moisture-proof treatment : Hearing aids are electronic devices that are very sensitive to moisture. Avoid bringing hearing aids into bathrooms, pools, or other humid environments. When bathing, swimming, or other wet activities, remove your hearing aids and store them properly. If the hearing aid is wet, the battery should be removed in time, the water should be absorbed with a dry cloth, and then the hearing aid should be placed in a drying device to dry12

Cleaning & Disinfection : Cleaning your hearing aids regularly is key to maintaining their performance. Use a soft, dry cloth or paper towel to wipe the outside of your hearing aids, especially the earbuds and ear pads. For in-the-ear hearing aids, it is recommended to clean them three times a week, especially if there is a lot of earwax, and you can clean them daily. Use a special small brush to remove earwax around the sound vents and vents, and if necessary, disinfect with alcohol, but wait until the alcohol has completely evaporated before replacing the hearing aids. If possible, it is recommended to purchase a UVC disinfection box. The sterilization is fast and the effect is more obvious.

Shockproof and heat-proof: Hearing aids are delicate electronic devices that need to be protected from physical impacts and high temperatures. Avoid exposing hearing aids to extremely high or low temperatures, such as stoves, car interiors in direct sunlight, etc. When using and storing hearing aids, they should be kept away from magnetic environments, such as physiotherapy rooms, CT rooms and MRI diagnostic rooms in hospitals.

Battery management: Replace the battery in time to ensure the stable working performance of the hearing aid. Remove the battery from the hearing aid when not in use to prevent battery leakage from corroding the hearing aid. When storing the battery, be careful not to touch the positive and negative poles together to prevent the battery from short-circuiting2

Regular professional maintenance: It is recommended to go to a professional facility every 3-6 months for deep cleaning, testing and commissioning to ensure that the hearing aid is performing at its best. If the hearing aid fails, it should be sent to a professional maintenance center or manufacturer for repair in time, and it should not be disassembled for repair

Precautions for daily use of hearing aids:

Avoid bathing, swimming, or going into humid environments while wearing hearing aids.

When using and storing hearing aids, avoid physical impacts and high temperatures.

Regularly inspect the appearance and performance of your hearing aids and replace loose or worn parts in a timely manner.

Keep your ear canal clean and regularly clean your hearing aid's earbuds, ear pads, and filters that are susceptible to contamination
