How do I care for my hearing aids?

Caring for your hearing aids is essential for maintaining their performance and longevity. Regular maintenance helps ensure that they continue to provide optimal sound quality while minimizing the risk of damage. It is advisable to clean your hearing aids daily using a soft, dry cloth to remove any wax, moisture, or debris that may have accumulated. Additionally, many hearing aids come with specific cleaning tools or brushes that can be used to carefully clean the microphones and receivers. It is crucial to avoid using water, alcohol, or any other harsh substances to clean your devices, as these can cause damage. It is also important to store your hearing aids in a dry place when they are not in use, and many users find that a dehumidifier can help keep moisture at bay. Finally, be sure to replace the batteries regularly and have them serviced as needed, following the manufacturer's recommendations. For specific advice tailored to your hearing aids, it may be helpful to refer to the information provided on the Progressive Hearing & Balance website or the user manual that came with your devices.
