At VR Speech and Hearing Clinic, we guide every patient on how to use, maintain, and protect their rechargeable hearing aids for long-term performance and comfort.

1. Charge Your Hearing Aids Daily
Make it a daily habit to charge your hearing aids overnight—even if they aren’t completely drained. Most rechargeable models last 18–30 hours on a full charge. Keeping them powered ensures uninterrupted hearing all day long.
2. Use Only the Original Charger
Always use the manufacturer-provided charger that comes with your hearing aids. Third-party or incompatible chargers can reduce battery life or cause permanent damage.
💡 VR Tip: Before using any alternative charging accessories, consult your audiologist at VR Speech and Hearing Clinic.
3. Keep the Charging Case Clean and Dry
Moisture or dust inside the charging dock can block proper connection. Clean your charging case and hearing aids regularly with a soft, dry cloth to maintain efficient charging.
4. Avoid Moisture and Humidity
Rechargeable hearing aids are water-resistant, not waterproof. Avoid direct exposure to water, steam, or sweat. Always remove your devices before showering and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
5. Avoid Overcharging
Although most modern devices include built-in overcharge protection, unplug your charger once the battery is full. This helps maintain long-term battery health and prevents gradual performance decline.
6. Keep Software Updated
Some premium hearing aid models (like Signia, Phonak, ReSound, and Widex) allow firmware updates through mobile apps. These updates improve battery optimization, Bluetooth connectivity, and overall device stability.

7. Clean Your Hearing Aids Regularly
Earwax buildup can block sound and increase power usage. Use a soft brush or cleaning tool to gently remove dirt and wax once a week.

8. Carry a Portable Power Bank While Traveling
If you travel frequently, keep a portable charger or power bank handy. It ensures your hearing aids remain powered even during long trips without electricity access.
9. Replace Batteries When Necessary
Rechargeable batteries typically last 2–5 years depending on usage. If your device isn’t holding a charge like before, it might be time for a replacement.
