Hearing aid care tips
Hearing aids are a long-term investment, so to keep you hearing well over time it is essential that your hearing aids are maintained and updated regularly. Looked after well, by our expert staff, your hearing aids can be truly life-changing.
Keep them dry
Your hearing aids are water resistant so they should be fine if you get caught in the rain, but take them out before swimming or showering.
Get ready first
It’s normally sensible to put your hearing aids in after you have got ready so that you don’t get makeup or hairspray on them.
Avoid sharp objects
Don’t use sharp objects like needles or pins to clean your hearing aids, use the tools that came with your hearing aids instead.
Don't share them
Don’t let anyone else use your hearing aids. They’re programmed specifically for your ears.
Avoid chemicals
Don’t use strong cleaning products, such as alcohol wipes, on your hearing aids as this can damage them.
Avoid the heat
Don’t keep your hearing aids anywhere they will get too hot, like above a radiator.
Keep them charged
If you use rechargeable hearing aids keep the hearing aids in the charger whenever you aren’t using them.
Keep them safe
Keep your hearing aids in their box or pouch if you take them out and don’t have your charger to hand.
