Hearing Aid Care
Cleaning Your Hearing Aids
- Use the cleaning brush or soft cloth to clean debris from around the user control, microphone, battery compartment, tubing and earmold.
Never use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or oil to clean your hearing aid.
Cleaning the Tubing and Earmold
-
Separate the earmold from the hearing aid by gently pulling the tubing away from the earhook.
-
Connect an earmold air blower to the tubing and gently squeeze the bulb to push air through the tubing. Any moisture or debris should come out the end of the earmold.
-
Use a soft, damp cloth or a cleaning brush to clean debris from the earmold.
-
Ensure the earmold is dry, then slide the earmold tubing onto the earhook.
