A hearing aid is a complex electronic device consisting of several small components. External factors, sweat, earwax, dust, and misuse can damage the device. Each user must properly care for their devices and know what to do in the event of a breakdown.
Mechanical damage and moisture kill hearing aids more often than other factors. Try not to get your devices wet. Try to dry them every day. Remove the batteries (if possible) and leave the compartment open. In addition, there are special dryers for hearing aids.
Try to keep your devices clean. Do not wash them with water or other cleaning solutions. Use dry wipes, brushes, loops, and other tools.
To clean your hearing aids and change consumables on time, order hearing aid supplies online. Make sure you have a cleaning tool, as well as spare earbuds, and batteries in stock. So, you have everything you need and you are ready to try to revive your device. Where to start?
First, try replacing the battery. Check if it is installed correctly, it may need cleaning. Install a new battery if this does not help. If you are using a battery, carefully remove it and charge it.
Check your earbuds and tubes for earwax. Earwax is the most important protective component for our ears. However, sometimes it contaminates the elements of the device, interfering with its functioning. Clean the components with the cleaning tools.
Check the condition of the sound duct. It is possible that the earmold tube has some kind of defect or is completely defective. The tube needs to be replaced with a new one. The dimensions of the old and new sound ducts must match.
Analyze the location of the sound insert. It is necessary to check if the earmold is correctly inserted into the ear canal and if no defects are found during the examination. If the earmold is incorrectly positioned, it must be removed and inserted correctly.
Contact the service center if these manipulations did not help. Never disassemble the hearing aid yourself. It consists of various small components. You risk making it worse if you try to take it apart. In the service center, a specialist will examine it, find the cause of the breakdown and offer solutions.
If you are satisfied with the performance of your hearing aids, you should visit the service center at least once every six months. Experts will inspect the condition of the devices and give recommendations on their use. This approach can prolong the life of your hearing aids. Your irreplaceable assistants will please you for a long time with an amazing palette of sounds!
