Cleaning your ITE hearing aids
Use a so cloth to clean your hearing aid at the
end of each day, and place it in its case with the
battery door open to allow moisture to evaporate.
Ear wax is natural and common. Ensuring your
hearing aids are free of ear wax is an important
step in your daily cleaning and maintenance
routine.
Using the brush that was provided with your
hearing aids, clean ear wax from your hearing
aids everyday.
Never use alcohol to clean your hearing aids.
Do not use sharp tools to dislodge ear wax.
Sticking household items into your hearing aids
can seriously damage them.
Talk to your hearing healthcare professional
about regular appointments to have the wax
removed from your hearing aids.
