Five minutes a day keeps devices clear and reliable. A simple, safe cleaning and care routine.
Hearing aids sit in a warm, waxy environment all day, so a little regular cleaning makes a big difference to sound quality and lifespan. The good news: it only takes a few minutes and a few simple tools.
Here's the routine our audiologists recommend.
Use a dry, soft cloth or tissue to remove wax and moisture from the surface.
Gently brush the microphone and receiver ports with the small brush provided.
Store them open or in a drying kit so any moisture evaporates by morning.
A few simple rules protect delicate electronics from the most common mishaps.
A few hearing-aid parts are designed to be replaced regularly - they're cheap and make a big difference. Wax guards should be changed when sound becomes faint or crackly, and the soft domes or tubing on many devices are swapped every few months as they harden.
If a quick clean and a fresh wax guard don't restore clear sound, that's the moment to get in touch rather than struggling on - it's usually a five-minute fix.
