Guide: Hearing Aid Care at Home

Simple home care can help keep hearing aids clean, comfortable and reliable between professional service appointments.

Clean Regularly

Use a soft, dry cloth and the cleaning tools recommended for your device. Remove visible wax from the appropriate areas and avoid water, alcohol or household cleaning products unless specifically advised by the manufacturer.

Control Moisture

Store hearing aids in a dry, safe place. A suitable drying system may help protect devices from moisture, especially after perspiration or humid weather.

Look After Batteries

For disposable batteries, open the battery door when the device is not in use. For rechargeable models, follow the manufacturer’s charging guidance and bring your charger when travelling.

If sound becomes weak, distorted or intermittent, arrange professional service rather than attempting a repair at home.
