How does one care for a hearing aid?

Hearing aids should be kept dry and protected from excessive temperatures.  The leading causes of hearing aid repairs are earwax, which gets caught in the hearing aid, and moisture from humidity or perspiration.  Many problems can be avoided if simple care and maintenance instructions are followed.

When caring for your aid, it is recommended that you handle it over a soft surface to minimize the risk of damage by dropping it.  Wipe your earmold or hearing aid with a dry tissue or cloth after each wearing.  Do NOT use alcohol, water, or other solutions to clean the aid.  Check the sound opening of the aid daily to make sure it is clear of wax.
