Follow our tips and tricks to keep your hearing aids working well and ensure they last as long as possible.
The small components inside your hearing aids are tough, but all electronics are vulnerable to impacts.
As they sit against skin, hearing aids are exposed to moisture.
Dust or debris can build up on the shells of the hearing aids, which can block sound, hold moisture, and prevent them from functioning properly.
It's important to minimise your hearing aids’ contact with water and ensure they are regularly dried.
Salt water can leave salt crystals on the hearing aids, sand can block microphone ports, and sunscreen can contain chemicals that damage your hearing aids’ outer shell.
Some skin- and hair product can have detrimental effects on hearing aids. These can include aftershave lotion, hairspray, oils, perfume, sunscreen, insect repellent, and eardrops.
Very hot temperatures can be tough on your hearing aids.
Cold weather can be tough on hearing aid batteries.
