A Few Things to Consider

in the ear hearing aid
As with any device, daily attention to cleaning is the key to maintaining optimum performance.
  • Whilst most modern devices give some sort of warning in the form of a "beep" when the batteries are running flat, some models may not give a "beep." Try changing the batteries. If this doesn't fix the problem, don't keep trying other batteries as it is unlikely to be the battery. Try one of the other suggestions
  • Moisture may be a problem in the warmer months for those people who perspire a lot. It is a good idea to take the device(s) out and leave the battery door open
  • Wax can block the opening of the earpiece and this will stop the sound from leaving the device and entering your ear. Using the cleaning tools supplied with the hearing device(s) regularly as shown should minimise wax from entering the earpiece
  • Avoid dropping the devices on hard surfaces like tiles, concrete and floorboards as this may jar the electronics. When removing or inserting your devices, do it over a table, or, better still, over your bed
  • Avoid applying hairspray, face powder and suntan lotion whilst wearing your hearing device(s) as this can block the microphones and foul up the controls over a period of time
  • Never wet the device itself. Generally speaking, hearing devices can tolerate some moisture, e.g., when caught in the rain going between the car and shops but should never be worn knowingly in a downpour as this may void the warranty
  • Do not leave the devices laying around where young children and pets can easily reach them. Apart from the curiosity value that hearing device(s) have with small children, household pets are often attracted by the "whistling" hearing devices can give off if left on and laying around
