HearAid Maintenance

With sensible care and by observing these basic instructions, a well-maintained HearAid is designed to last several years.

Daily maintenance
  • Keep your HearAid clean and dry.
  • Avoid exposing your HearAid to any moisture such as rain, water from the shower, splashing from a pool, etc.
  • If your HearAid is exposed to excessive moisture, leave the battery compartment open and empty overnight. This will allow it to dry out.
  • Never use alcohol to clean the HearAid body, tubes, or domes.
  • Gently wipe the HearAid case with a soft cloth or tissue after each use to remove body oil and moisture.
  • Always remove your HearAid when using hair care products (hairspray, gel, etc.) Your HearAid can become easily clogged and cease to function properly.
  • If you will not be using your HearAid for an extended period of time, remove the battery and keep your HearAid in its case.
Avoid situations that will cause repairs not covered by your warranty:
  • Never immerse your HearAid in water or other liquids. This will cause permanent damage to the circuitry.
  • Avoid dropping your HearAid on floors and other hard surfaces. Protect it from rough handling.
  • Do not leave your HearAid in or near direct heat or sunlight. Excessive heat can damage the circuitry and/or deform the casing or tube.
