How to Care for Your Hearing Aids: Essential Maintenance Tips
Key Takeaways
  • Wipe devices daily with a dry cloth and keep them away from moisture.
  • Regularly inspect and change the wax guard filters.
  • Take advantage of complimentary lifetime aftercare cleaning at Bluebells clinics.

Proper daily care ensures your hearing aids deliver crisp sound quality and extend their operational lifespan for years.

Tip 1: Daily Wipe-Down. Wipe your hearing aids with a soft, dry cloth every night. Never use water, alcohol, or cleaning solvents.

Tip 2: Check & Replace Wax Filters. Earwax is the #1 cause of reduced sound output. Replace the tiny wax guard filter whenever sound seems weak.

Tip 3: Moisture Protection. Store your hearing aids in a drying case or charging dock away from bathroom steam.

Tip 4: Routine Professional Servicing. Visit your Bluebells clinic every 6 months for deep acoustic cleaning, microphone vacuuming, and software updates.
