The Top 5 Care Habits to Keep Your ITE Hearing Aids in Perfect Condition

Your in-the-ear hearing aids work hard to keep you connected. They help you follow conversations and stay present with your loved ones every day. But much like any other support device, they need regular care and maintenance to go a long way.

Everyday elements like dust, ear wax, and moisture clog openings and reduce sound quality drastically. With time, this can affect the usability of your ITE hearing aids. 

Fortunately for you, there is a simple solution with our care tips. A few easy habits in your routine can make all the difference with your aids.

Wipe Daily

Your hearing aids are designed to amplify sound, but dirt and earwax can quickly hinder their performance. Wipe them down with a dry cloth daily to remove any buildup. A small brush or waxpick can also help, but use them with care to avoid damaging the inner components.

Store Safely

Moisture can render your hearing aids useless. Always store them in a dry, protective case when not in use. Avoid humidity and water exposure, as they can cause serious damage to your aid’s functionality.

Use Clean Hands 

Oil and dirt easily transfer from your hands to your hearing aids. Before inserting or removing them, wash and dry your hands. This will help prevent any additional debris from making its way into your device.

Check The Wax Guard

If voices sound muffled, it could be a sign that your wax guard is clogged. Regularly checking and replacing it can help maintain the clarity of sound. If you’re unsure how to do it properly or notice persistent issues, a quick visit to a hearing specialist can ensure everything is functioning as it should. 

This simple step can make a big difference in keeping your hearing aids performing at their best.

Schedule A Follow-Up

Even with daily care, professional maintenance will help your ITE hearing aids stay in perfect working condition. A specialist can thoroughly clean internal parts and identify potential issues before they cause bigger problems.

Taking care of your hearing aids ensures they keep delivering clear sound for years to come.
