Keeping Your Hearing Aids Like New: A Simple Daily Guide

IKteI9bkT2s?si=RkSHSkGYy5AtyC4X

At Acoustik Hearing and Speech Clinic, we want your hearing journey to be as easy as possible. You don’t need to be a technology expert to take care of your devices! Think of your hearing aids like a pair of glasses—they just need a little daily "shine" to help you hear clearly.

Here is the simplest way to clean your devices without any confusing terms.

1. The Daily "Wipe and Go"

Every night when you take your hearing aids off, give them a quick wipe with a soft, dry tissue or cloth.

Why it matters: This removes the natural oils from your skin and any moisture from the day.
Important: Never use water, wet wipes, or cleaning sprays. These devices need to stay dry to work properly.

2. Brush the "Sound Holes"

If you look closely at your device, you will see tiny little holes. This is where the sound travels.

Use the small brush we gave you at the clinic to gently sweep across these holes.
The Secret Trick: Hold the device upside down while you brush. This way, any dust or dirt falls out onto the table instead of falling deeper into the device.

3. Check the "Tip" (The part that goes in your ear)

The part of the hearing aid that sits inside your ear is the most likely to get blocked by earwax.

The Tiny White Circle: Look at the very tip of the device. You’ll see a tiny white circle. If it looks yellow or blocked, that is usually why the sound feels quiet or muffled.
The Soft Rubber Cap: If your device has a soft, clear rubber tip, make sure it is clear of wax. You can gently wipe it or use your little brush to clear it.

Simple Habits for a Long-Lasting Device

Clean over a towel: Always clean your hearing aids over a soft towel. If you accidentally drop the device, the towel acts as a pillow and prevents it from breaking.
Avoid the Bathroom: Never store your hearing aids in the bathroom. The steam from the shower can damage the delicate insides. A bedside drawer is a much better spot.
Hairspray First: Apply your hairspray, perfume, or aftershave before you put your hearing aids in. This prevents the tiny sound holes from getting clogged with sticky chemicals.
Let them breathe: If your device has a little door for a battery, leave it open at night. This helps any moisture inside the device evaporate while you sleep.
