Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean your hearing aids regularly using a soft, dry cloth to remove any earwax or debris. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as they can damage the electronic components of the device. Store your hearing aids in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent moisture buildup. Check the batteries regularly and replace them as needed to prevent any issues with power. Inspect the tubing and vents for any blockages and clear them using a gentle brush or tool. Schedule regular maintenance checks with your audiologist to ensure proper functioning of your hearing aids.
Handling and Usage
Handle your hearing aids with clean hands to prevent transferring dirt or oils onto the device. Avoid dropping or exposing your hearing aids to extreme temperatures, as this can cause damage. Turn off your hearing aids when not in use to conserve battery power and extend their lifespan. Adjust the volume and settings of your hearing aids carefully to avoid feedback or distortion. Remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming, or engaging in water-related activities. Keep your hearing aids away from children or pets to prevent accidental damage.
Storage and Care
Use a protective case or container to store your hearing aids when traveling or not in use. Keep spare batteries, cleaning tools, and accessories handy for quick replacements or maintenance. Avoid exposing your hearing aids to direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can affect their performance. Store your hearing aids away from humid environments to prevent condensation or moisture damage. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for storage and care to maintain warranty coverage.
