How to look after hearing aids

A simple guide to taking care of your hearing aids.

Keep your hearing aid dry and cool:
- Take your hearing aid out when in the shower or swimming and if you are sweating or out in the rain.
- If your hearing aid gets wet, dry it as soon as possible with a tissue, soft cloth or cotton buds.
- Make sure your ears are dry before putting in your hearing aid.
- Take your hearing aid off if you use a hairdryer.
- Don’t leave your hearing aid sitting in the hot sun or near a heater.
Clean hearing aids as instructed.
Turn hearing aids off when not being used.
Replace dead batteries immediately.
Remove hearing aid before using aftershave, hairspray, perfume, sunscreen, insect repellent and so on – they may contain chemicals that could damage it.
Be careful not to drop your hearing aid.
