Cleaning your hearing aids
Use a soft cloth to clean your hearing aids at
the end of each day. Regular cleaning of the
microphone ports with the supplied cleaning
brush will ensure that your hearing aids will
maintain their sound quality. Your hearing
healthcare professional can demonstrate this
for you.
If you have rechargeable hearing aids, place
them in the charging base overnight. If you
have non-rechargeable hearing aids, place
them in their case with the battery doors open
to allow moisture to evaporate.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids,
earmolds or domes.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
or custom molds can seriously damage them.

Cleaning your custom molds and domes
Clean the domes and molds on the
outside daily with a damp cloth.
Avoid getting any water in and around
the speaker units and custom molds.
The wires, speakers, domes or custom molds
should never be rinsed or submerged in water
as water drops may block sound or damage the
electrical components of the hearing aids.
Domes should be replaced by your hearing
healthcare professional every 3-6 months or
when they become stiff, brittle, or discolored.
If your molds require further cleaning, the
speaker waxguard may be plugged and
require replacing. See your hearing healthcare
professional.
