Care & Maintenance for your New Instrument(s)

Daily care and attention will prolong the life of your hearing investment.

At the end of the day open your battery doors and place in a container which remains open to air circulation and hidden from children and pets.  Many choose to use a dry aid kit or a Dry & Store active drying machine to preserve their instruments.

In the morning after any wax has dried it is simple to wipe off your aids with a soft cloth or Kleenex. Be sure to clean the receiver and vent openings with the proper cleaning tool; see your hearing professional for the proper tool and use.

Never leave a battery in the aid even if the battery is dead.

Remove hearing instruments before using hair spray.

Do not expose your hearing instruments to excessive moisture, humidity, or steam.

Do not wear your hearing instruments while bathing, showering, or swimming.

Keep away from heat sources such as stoves heat registers, hair dryers, or open flame.

Do not drop your hearing instruments or allow the instrument to be subjected to rugged handling.

Keep away from pets, dogs in particular are aroused by feedback sounds sometimes produced by hearing instruments when not being worn.

Keep fresh batteries in your hearing instruments and be aware that your hearing aid will stop functioning when the battery dies. This is of particular importance as you drive in traffic or are in other situations where you may rely on warning sounds for safety.
