You are right \u2013 they do! Cleaning your hearing aids<\/strong> is an important part of routine maintenance. But you have to do it carefully.<\/p>\n Your Los Angeles audiologist<\/a> agrees that cleaning your hearing aid daily is probably the most important thing you can do to prolong the device\u2019s life.<\/p>\n Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe all surfaces. We can\u2019t emphasize this enough – do not use water, solvents, cleaning fluids or alcohol to clean your hearing aid.<\/p>\n Instead, opt for a soft, dry cloth and a multi-use tool, which consists of a wire loop, magnet and brush.<\/p>\n You should be able to remove any dust, dirt, debris or earwax from the device with just these two tools. No need for a washing machine.<\/p>\n In addition to not cleaning<\/a> the device with water, it is important to prevent the hearing aid from getting wet from other activities.<\/p>\n Take the device out before you shower, bathe, swim, take a dip in the hot tub, etc.<\/p>\n Always apply hairspray and facial lotions before<\/em> you put your hearing aids in for the day.<\/p>\n Even with your best efforts, sometimes things will still go wrong with your hearing aid.<\/p>\n Before driving all the way down to our Los Angeles<\/a> office, try to resolve<\/a> the issue at home by following these steps:<\/p>\n If you try all these tips and your hearing aid is still not working, contact our office.<\/p>\n We can either help you troubleshoot the problem at home or will advise you to come in to have your devices repaired.<\/p>\n House Providence Hearing Health Center<\/strong>Routine Maintenance Procedures<\/h2>\n
