Spring has officially bloomed here in Melbourne — and there’s no better time to give your hearing aids a little spring clean! Regular cleaning and maintenance help keep your devices working at their best, ensuring crystal-clear sound and long-lasting performance.
Here are our top tips for keeping your hearing aids clean and performing at their peak:
Wipe down your hearing aids and/or earmould with a soft cloth, tissue, or designated hearing aid wipes or disinfecting spray.
Locate the microphone and speaker ports (some devices have two microphones). The speaker port is usually covered by a white wax filter.
Use a small brush to gently remove any loose wax or debris from the microphone and speaker ports.
Clear out the ports carefully with a wax pick, but never insert anything deep into the microphone, as it may cause damage. Replace the wax filter if needed.
Find and clean the vent — the small opening that allows airflow through your hearing aid — using a vent cleaner.
