🛠️ Hearing Aid Care Made Simple

It doesn't take a lot to take care of hearing aids. My general rule of thumb has always been 1-1-1. So once a day, take a Kleenex or paper towel, wipe off the entire hearing aid so everything can be wiped off. There's really no— nothing that you have to avoid there. The part that goes down into the ear, the little dome, just take and squeeze that gently with your tissue to get any earwax off of there. Now, once a week, you want to brush off that hearing aid, mostly your microphones. They're really good to make sure that they are cleared from any kind of debris that may get in there, dead skin, that kind of thing. Turn it upside down so that whatever you're brushing is facing the floor. The benefit there is that there's something inside of there and we brush it, we want it to fall out. If we brush it this way, we actually kind of push it down in there a little deeper. As far as the piece that goes down into the ear, once a month you want to change the dome. So with that, you're going to remove that dome, you'll get a new one, and then put a new dome on. Many of them will also have a wax filter underneath there. You'll also want to change that as well. If you ever feel like your hearing aid is not working, so something's wrong, wipe it off, brush it off, and change your dome and filter. That usually does wonders. What that will do is change you from feeling like you have a hearing aid that seems like it never works to one that works pretty much all the time.
