How to Clean Your Hearing Aids
Keeping your hearing aids clean is essential for optimal performance. Here's how to properly care for both in-the-ear and behind-the-ear hearing aids.
In-the-Ear Hearing Aids
Before going to bed, remove your hearing aid and gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth or tissue. It's important to check the part that fits into your ear canal for earwax buildup, which you can remove with a cleaning tool provided with your hearing aid, such as a wire pick, brush, or even a toothbrush.
Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aids
The cleaning process is similar to that of in-the-ear aids, with one key difference: the ear mold, typically made of Lucite or silicone, is non-electrical and can be washed with mild soapy water. Before washing, make sure to disconnect the ear mold from the electrical part of the hearing aid to avoid water damage. Thoroughly dry the ear mold before use, and ensure the tube is clear of water. Note that the tube may need replacement every 3 to 6 months as it can lose flexibility.
What to Avoid
1. Solvents and Alcohol: Never use these to clean your hearing aids, as they can damage the materials. Use specially designed cleaning solutions instead.
2. Moisture Exposure: Keep the electrical components of your hearing aid dry. Avoid showering or bathing while wearing them.
3. Drops and Impacts: Be careful not to drop your hearing aids, especially on hard surfaces, as they can break.
By following these tips, you’ll keep your hearing aids in excellent condition, ensuring they function effectively for as long as possible.
