Cleaning your hearing aids
Use a soft cloth to clean your hearing
aid at the end of each day, and place
it in its case with the battery door
open to allow moisture to evaporate.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
custom molds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
or custom molds can seriously damage them.
Cleaning your custom shells and domes
Clean the domes and shells on the outside
daily with a damp cloth. Avoid getting any water
in and around the speaker units (microphone
shields) and custom shells.
Note: The wires, speakers, domes or custom
shells should never be rinsed or submerged
in water as water drops may block sound or
damage the electrical components of the
hearing aids.
Domes should be replaced by your hearing
healthcare professional every 3-6 months or
when they become stiff, brittle, or discolored.
If your shells require further cleaning, the
speaker waxguard may be plugged and
require replacing. See your hearing healthcare
professional.
