Do you want to make sure your hearing aids last and stay in great condition? Cleaning hearing aids regularly and performing proper maintenance are some of the best ways to preserve them and ensure a clear and comfortable hearing experience.

We’ve put together a helpful list of tips on how to take care of your Nano OTC hearing aids to keep them in top shape, prolong their lifespan, and enhance their performance.

How To Care For Your Nano OTC Hearing Aids

Proper care for your Nano OTC hearing aids involves a few simple steps. These steps ensure your devices remain functional and provide you with the best possible hearing experience.

Shut Them Off When Not In Use

Turning off your hearing aids when you’re not using them helps conserve battery life and keeps them in better working condition.

Store Them In A Dry Place

Moisture can damage most hearing aids. Store them in a dry place, such as a storage case or a dry container, to keep them free of moisture.

Remove Hearing Aids When Showering To Prevent Them From Getting Wet

Water can harm your hearing aids, so make sure to remove them before showering, swimming, or any activity involving water.

Protect Against Heat And Humidity

Avoid exposing your hearing aids to excessive heat and humidity, as these conditions can damage the internal components.

Always Handle Them With Care

While hearing aids are powerful tools designed to enhance your hearing experience, their discreet design makes them small devices that require careful handling. They should never be dropped.

Avoid Placing The Hearing Aids Near Magnetic Objects

Magnets can interfere with the functioning of your hearing aids. Keep them away from any magnetic objects (such as tablets, magnetic clasps on jewelry, and magnetic fasteners on bags), to ensure they work correctly.

How To Clean Your Hearing Aids

Cleaning your entire hearing aid regularly keeps each one free of debris, moisture, and ear wax, which can affect performance. Here’s how to clean your Nano OTC hearing aids:

1. Remove the dome from the hearing aid tip. This allows you to clean the hearing aid more effectively.
2. Use a dry cloth or alcohol wipe to clean the body of the hearing aid. This helps remove any accumulated dirt or oils.
3. Use a hearing aid brush or a dry cloth to gently remove debris and wax from the tip of the hearing aid. Ensuring the ear tip is free of wax buildup or debris helps prevent feedback or limited sound.
4. Change the wax guards if unable to remove wax from the tip of the hearing aid. This helps maintain clear sound quality.
5. We recommend changing the dome every three months. However, change the dome sooner if it’s stiff, brittle, or discolored.
6. After cleaning your hearing aid, securely connect the dome to the tip of the hearing aid. This ensures your hearing aid is ready for use.

By incorporating consistent hearing aid maintenance into your routine, keeping your hearing aids clean, and using the appropriate hearing aid cleaning tools, you’ll ensure your hearing aids remain in top condition.
