Seven Tips for Taking Care of Your
Hearing Aids

Why aren’t my hearing aids working?

There are a lot of different reasons why your hearing aids may stop working. However, proper care of your hearing aids is the best way to prevent that from happening and an important part of making sure they perform as designed.

Here are some tips to help you take better care of your hearing aids.

Keep Them Dry.

Water and moisture are deadly enemies of hearing aids, so remember to remove them before showering or swimming, and use a hearing aid dryer or dehumidifier to reduce moisture. If possible, invest in a drying box, which circulates warm air around the hearing aid to dry the device. NEVER use a microwave or hair dryer to dry your hearing aids.

Work on Your Hearing Aids over a Soft Surface.

Whether changing batteries or cleaning your unit, put a towel over the surface you’re working on or work over your bed. Falling onto a hard surface can damage the internal components of your hearing aids.

Deal with the Wax.

Earwax naturally accumulates in the ear and on your hearing aids. You can help prevent it from becoming a problem by gently wiping them with a soft, dry cloth every night and by clearing wax from any crevices with a soft bristle brush. If your hearing aids come with wax guards, make sure to change them as directed by the manufacturer or your hearing care provider.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures.

Leaving your hearing aids in a hot car or exposed to UV radiation will cause damage. However, extreme cold also causes damage due to condensation. Protect your hearing aids in cold weather by wearing a hat, scarf or earmuffs.

Check the Batteries.

Batteries can last from a few days to a week or more, depending on the technology, usage and other factors. Making sure that you have plenty of spare batteries on hand, activating and inserting them properly or ensuring that they are seated properly in the charger is critical to having enough energy to power your hearing aids.

Store Them Properly!

Hearing aids tend to get tossed into pockets and purses. Although it’s naturally convenient, they get lost among other things, and they come into contact with keys, coins and other metals, which can cause battery discharge and other problems. Store your hearing aids in the hard case they come in, and then you can toss them in your purse or slip them into your pocket.

Bring Them in for Regular Clean and Checks.

When you buy a new car, you’re given a maintenance schedule to ensure that it performs the way it’s supposed to while it’s under warranty. Just like your car, your under-warranty hearing aids need to be brought in for regular clean and checks to optimize their performance. Keep to the maintenance schedule provided by your hearing care provider and consult with our Hearing Instrument Specialists for any necessary adjustments.

In-Clinic Hearing Aid Repair, Maintenance and Troubleshooting

In most cases, our Hearing Instrument Specialists can identify the problem with your malfunctioning hearing aid, repair it, and get it back in your ear during a single office visit. However, there are times when we will have to order parts from the manufacturer to repair your broken hearing aid or send it to the manufacturer.

For us to provide timely, in-clinic hearing aid repair, we maintain a working relationship with various manufacturers for training, ordering parts and other benefits. The manufacturers we work with for hearing aid repair include:

Although we sell, fit and repair hearing aids from these manufacturers, we are able to repair hearing aids from other manufacturers, though it may take more time to get parts.

If we’re unable to repair your hearing aids in-clinic while you wait, we’ll make sure that you have loaner hearing aids so you can continue your daily routine without skipping a beat. Your loaner pair may not be exactly like your regular pair, but they will be close enough so they’ll be easy to use and adjust to.
