Cleaning your earmolds
Clean the earmold and the
outside of the earhook with a
damp cloth at the end of each
day. Avoid getting any water
in the hearing aids.
Do not use alcohol to clean
your earmolds.
If the earmolds become plugged, clear the
opening with a wax loop or pipe cleaner.
If your physician prescribes eardrops, clean
any moisture that may get into the earmolds or
tubing to prevent plugging.
If the earmolds require further cleaning:
1. Disconnect the plastic tube from the hook of
the hearing aid, by holding the hearing aid
in one hand and gently pulling the tubing
away from the earhook.
2. Wash only the earmolds and tubing in warm
water with a mild soap.
3. Rinse them with cool water and dry
overnight.
4. Make sure the earmold tubes are completely
dry. Reconnect them to the earhook on your
hearing aid by sliding the tubing back on
to the earhook. Use of a hearing aid blower
can assist with removing moisture/debris
from the tube. See your hearing healthcare
professional for more information.
