Hearing System Care

Instrument Care

Because of the variability of individual ear canal 

physiology, maintenance needs vary . Work 

with your hearing professional to develop a 

maintenance routine best for you .
General maintenance guidelines:

a .  Inspect your hearing aid with good light and 

a magnifying glass if necessary, and become 

familiar with the look of a properly maintained 

hearing aid .

b .  Wiping the exterior of the hearing aid off with 

a soft cloth or tissue in the morning before 

wearing is typically the best routine .

c .  Inspect the microphone and receiver ports 

every morning and brush away any wax or 

debris .

d.  Depending on the conditions of your ear, a 

desiccating kit or appliance may be necessary 

to ensure reliable performance . Please check 

with your hearing professional .

Your hearing care professional can provide further 

information on additional maintenance procedures 

for your hearing system if needed .
