Maintenance

Most hearing aid repairs are due to moisture and earwax accumulating in the hearing aid, and most of these repairs can be avoided.  It is extremely important to clean the entire hearing aid every time it is removed from your ear by wiping and brushing it. To better protect your hearing aids, use a DRY-AID kit every night! Electronic dry-aid kits are the best. They include a germicidal light that kills most bacteria and other germs, desiccants to absorb moisture and fans to circulate air around the internal components of the hearing aid. Get in the habit of cleaning the hearing aid after each use and keeping the hearing aid in the dry-aid kit at night. Preventive maintenance is the key to trouble free, long life from a hearing aid. A well maintained hearing aid can easily last 5 to 7 years, maybe longer.
