Maintenance Tips

  • Handle with care: Certain parts of a hearing aid are fragile, including the microphone and receiver. Practicing caution will reduce the chances of accidental damage.
  • Change the batteries: Regularly changing your hearing aid’s battery will prevent unexpected power losses.
  • Check out battery contacts: Dirty battery contacts can cause your device to malfunction. Contact Mobile Hearing Aids for inspection and cleaning.
  • Remove earwax from your device: Earwax clogs hearing aids and decreases performance.
  • Change the wax filter/guard: The filter stops wax from reaching the internal parts of your hearing aid.
  • Avoid moisture: Do not wear your hearing aid in the shower or pool or when using a hairdryer or hair spray.
  • Clean your ear canals: You should schedule an ear cleaning with a healthcare professional every six months. Think of this as routine maintenance, kind of like getting the oil changed in your car.
