Maintenance Tips..

• Cleaning your hearing aids every day.
  Professionals estimate that 60 of the damage
  that requires hearing aid repairs is caused by
  ear wax. Simply wiping your device with a clean,
  dry cloth or tissue every morning can get rid of
  the ear wax and prevent this damage. Never use a
  moistened cloth or tissue to clean a hearing aid
  because the liquid can damage it.

5

• Keeping your hearing aids dry because water can
  destroy them. Always remove your device when you
  bathe, shower, wash your hair, or swim. It is
  also a good idea to take the device out of your
  ears if you go outside on a rainy day. You should
  also take your hearing aids out if you are
  engaging in an activity that requires the use of
  water, such as washing the car or watering the
  lawn.

6

• Never storing or placing your hearing aids in the
  bathroom, because they can get wet there. If you
  take a bath or shower, take the hearing aids out
  and put them in another room.

7

• Storing your hearing aids in a dehumidifying
  container when they are not in use. If you live
  near the ocean, this can protect the device from
  moisture in the air when they are not in use.

8

• Taking your hearing aids out whenever you apply
  make-up or hairspray because the chemicals in
  those products can damage the electronics.

9

• Take the hearing aids in for service whenever
  anything goes wrong. Prompt service from a
  professional can keep your aids working and
  eliminate the need for expensive replacements.

Following these tips can enable your hearing aids
to last for years without giving you any trouble.
