Hearing Aid Maintenance & Ongoing Care

Hearing aids perform best when they are properly maintained and monitored over time. One of the most common causes of hearing aid performance issues is moisture from perspiration within the ear canal and on the skin surrounding the ear. Moisture will cause hearing aids to sound less clear. As moisture builds up, hearing aids sound becomes dull and muffled. This usually occurs slowly… Build up of earwax in the hearing aids will also cause sound to become dull and muffled.

To help protect your devices, it is important to limit unnecessary exposure to moisture. Activities that cause significant perspiration, as well as rain, boating, washing a car, or other situations where hearing aids may become wet, can affect performance. Hearing aids should always be removed before swimming or showering.
