It’s understandable to feel annoyed if your hearing aids frequently fall out or become dislodged. This often happens because of poor fit, moisture and sweat or movement. Here are some tips and tricks to make sure your devices stay remain in your ears comfortably.
Wear Them Correctly
Check that each device is in the proper ear. If you have a smaller model, make sure it sits
flush with your ear canal. If you have a large model, it should be flush with your earlobe.
Use Accessories
Certain hearing aid accessories can attach to your device and clip onto your clothing,
so that they don’t hit the ground if they slip from your ears. Options include:
- Hearing aid clips
- Retention cords
Clean Them Regularly
Don’t forget to clean your hearing aids on a regular basis, especially particularly because a buildup of earwax can cause hearing aids to become dislodged.
Keep Your Ears Dry
Whether you’ve been exercising or get caught in the rain, moisture may cause your hearing aids to fall out of place. It’s important to dry your ears and hearing aids after:
- Being in moist weather
- A workout
You might also consider sweatbands while working out to help keep your ears dry.
See an Audiologist
The best way to keep your hearing aids in place is to have them fitted to the inside of your ears by an audiologist. This ensures you will have an optimal experience with your devices and can continue with your favorite activities uninterrupted.
