How to Clean Hearing Aids

You can also use this tool to gently brush the tip of the dome of each tut-eraille, where wax is most likely to accumulate. If a tenacious wax is glued at the tip of the dome, try to use the wire loop unlike the brush to remove it gently. Then check the rear of the receiver, where the wire is attached to it, and also brush this area. You can use a microfiber cloth to eliminate any dislodged material during this step.

Some very old hearing aids have a long vent that crosses them completely. This can be cleaned with a special thread that is included with the product (as well as the wire loop at the back of the hearing aid brush). Vents like this are not common on modern hearing aids.

Under your ear benches, you will generally find a small white cylinder known as the wax guardian, wax filter or wax trap. Its function is exactly what it looks like: preventing the wax from entering the mechanism of hearing aids and obstructing it. Finally, these wax guards will be too obstructed to clean with a brush, how replaced they should be. Depending on your use and the volume of the ear cash register that you have, it could mean once a month.

If your hearing aid has a wax guard, it is probably delivered with a kit of replacement guards, invariably contained in a small plastic of about eight. Flip Open the case and remove one of the plastic tools in the Channel very delicately. The replacement goalkeeper is on the other side of the tool, and it is easy to dislodge accidentally when you remove the case from the case.

With the ear top removed from the hearing aid, insert the naked (black) side of the tool directly into the wax goalkeeper, then remove it. This will completely remove the old wax goalkeeper from hearing aid.

Now turn over the tool on the other side, which will have a white tip. This is your new clean wax guard, ready to use. Carefully insert the white tip into the hole created by removing the old wax guard, then remove the tool again. He will leave the new wax guardian in place. Throw the tool used, replace the ear signals and you are ready to go.

Finally, the ear signals wear out or break, especially if you remove them frequently to clean your hearing aids, or if they will become too dirty to clean effectively. Solution: Replace them with costs. Your hearing aids are probably delivered with additional despeaudes in your favorite size, but when you exhaust yourself, you can buy more directly from the manufacturer (as well as additional wax care tools, if necessary). Third -party ears are available for many model hearing aids, but quality will vary considerably.

Once finished, give any other quick wiping with your microfiber fabric. And don’t forget to always keep your hearing aids stored in their case (never a pocket) when they are not used.
