Hearing Aid Maintenance Do’s & Don’ts

Do ...

• Prevent problems by turning daily hearing aid care into a routine. This will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your hearing aids.
• Take precautions if you’re caught in heavy rain or very humid conditions and be sure to carefully wipe your hearing aid dry as soon as possible.

Don’t ...

• Use water or alcohol to clean your hearing aid.
• Wear your hearing aid when you’re in the shower/bath, steam bath or washing your hair in a sink or at the salon.
• Handle your hearing aid or batteries if you have lotion of any kind on your hands.
• Use hairspray when your hearing aids are in your ears - it can damage them. Spray before putting your hearing aids on.
• Expose your hearing aids to extreme temperatures. Never leave them in a parked car.
• Attempt home repairs. If something is wrong, contact your Connect Hearing Professional immediately.

This list may seem daunting, but proper care and maintenance is nothing more than a matter of routine and can be accomplished in just minutes per day.
