Hearing Aid Care and Maintenance
Your ear canal produces earwax which helps to lubricate the canal and prevent excessive dryness. Earwax also helps to protect your sensitive eardrum by trapping dirt and foreign substances from entering and damaging the ear. Earwax buildup and body oils are some of the main causes for hearing aid repairs. Earwax clogs up the sound outlet and/or the ventilation opening, resulting in weak, distorted sound or absence of sound. Moisture given off by your body will negatively affect your hearing aids over the lifespan of the devices. The goal is to minimize moisture and earwax buildup on a consistent basis when caring for and maintaining your hearing devices.
It is important that you follow our hearing aid care and maintenance instructions so that moisture and wax buildup are minimized therefore helping ensure the longevity or your new hearing aids. You will be instructed on any precautions that you should take when handling and cleaning your hearing aids.
During your scheduled visits, we will thoroughly clean, service, and replace appropriate parts on your hearing aids.
