Maintaining
Your Hearing Aid:
Buildup of earwax on
hearing aid:
If
you wear your hearing aid behind your ear, it inevitably gets wax buildup.
First, detach ear piece and tube from the electronics.
Prepare
false tooth cleaner (tablet) in a cup and soak the ear piece and tube.
Place
it on a clean surface to air dry.
Piece
will be ready to assemble and use again after completely dried.
Switch it off when not in
use.-This
will ensure you have a working battery when not in use and save you money in
the long run.
Replace the batteries
quickly-Avoid
leaving dead batteries in the device for too long so you don't have to
reprogram it.
Clean and inspect your
hearing aid often.
-Familiarize yourself with the cleaning instructions and always be sure to
check battery compartment for corrosion or rust. Use a q-tip with rubbing
alcohol to clean if you spot any rust or corrosion.
Check for condensation in
your ear-mold tubing or ear hooks.
Condensation can block out sound completely. If you notice tiny droplets of
water inside the ear mold blow out condensation with an ear mold blower.
*Always make sure your ears
are completely dry before putting in the device. Even damp aids can ruin the
device.
