5 Dos of Hearing Aids Care

What are some tips for hearing aid care?

To ensure a long life for your hearing aids, taking care of them in the right way possible is a must. Caring for your hearing device is a task that should take no more than 5 minutes a day to get the best output. Also, there are a few things that you must keep in mind while handling them. Let's take you through 5 dos to make sure that they run longer than promised. Whether you’re using traditional models or Hearzap smart hearing aids, these care tips are essential.

Store your hearing aids in a dry place to avoid moisture

Prevent moisture from entering your hearing aids, as it can cause serious damage to them. Wipe off any visible moisture from the machine and keep it for drying in a warm place. Do not use hair dryers or heating devices to dry your hearing aids. If you're unsure how to dry hearing aids properly, avoid using external heat sources and opt for safe methods.

Use a designated moisture remover accessory for your device, such as a dehumidifier for storage, when it gets wet. This remedy should help keep moisture at bay. For users of Hearzap smart hearing aids, knowing how to dry out hearing aids using the correct techniques will help maintain performance and longevity.

Keep your device clean and debris free

Clogged earwax can decrease the performance of hearing aids. Earwax can also get into the domes (or tips) of your device, which can cause reduced audibility.

It is nearly impossible to avoid the contact of earwax with hearing aids, but cleaning the hearing aids regularly with the help of dry cotton swabs or soft toothbrushes will clear the earwax or other debris. Also, remember to change your wax filters regularly. This is important for Hearzap smart hearing aids, as proper maintenance ensures advanced sound processing remains effective.

Change the batteries often

If you use battery operated hearing aids, change the batteries regularly. When not in use, it is always advised to keep the battery slot open, as the closure of the battery slot for a longer period can damage your device. Always use soft objects like cotton swabs to clean the batteries.

Hearzap smart hearing aids with rechargeable options also need regular attention to charging hygiene, which prevents moisture buildup and extends device life.

Always handle with care

Hearing aids are fragile in nature. Hence, it is of utmost importance to practice care while handling your device to ensure longer durability. Keep them away from children and pets. Handle them gently and avoid contact with hard surfaces.

Hearzap smart hearing aids come with a compact, tech rich design, making careful handling even more important to prevent internal damage.

Schedule routine General Servicing

Hearing aids need professional care, just like any medical device would require. Schedule an appointment with an Audiologist once every 6 months to ensure 360 care for your device. Make note that all hardware changes in the devices will require an audiologist's intervention as well.

Practicing these care guidelines will ensure a longer lifespan of your device. Always remember to follow the instructions and guidelines from the manual provided as well.
