🦻 Hearing Aid Care – Tips to Keep Your Device Working Perfectly

Hearing aids are an important investment in your hearing health. With proper care and maintenance, your hearing aid (or ear machine) can last many years, giving you clear and comfortable sound every day.

✅ Why Hearing Aid Care Is Important

• Prevents malfunction and damage

• Improves sound quality and performance

• Increases the life of the hearing aid

• Saves money on repairs or replacements

🧼 Daily Hearing Aid Care Tips

1. Clean your hearing aid every night
   Use a soft, dry cloth or brush to remove wax, dirt, and moisture.

2. Store in a dry place
   Always store your hearing aid in a dry box or dehumidifier when not in use, especially in humid climates.

3. Remove before bathing or sleeping
   Hearing aids are not waterproof. Remove them while bathing or swimming.

4. Avoid hairspray or perfumes
   Use these products before putting on your hearing aid, as sprays can damage internal parts.

5. Turn off when not in use
   Turn off your device or open the battery door to save power.
