Tips for Caring for Your Hearing Aids

Hearing aids need regular upkeep and preventative maintenance to ensure their optimal performance. With reasonable care, the life expectancy of a hearing aid is about three to five years. Here are some tips to help keep your hearing aids working well.

Temperature Extremes

Your hearing aids are sensitive to extreme cold and extreme heat. You should never leave a hearing aid on a radiator or an air conditioner, or on the dashboard or glove compartment of your car.

In the event your hearing aids get wet, do not try to dry them in an oven or with a hair dryer. Call our office immediately and we will put your hearing aids in our dehumidifying machine. This will often restore the aids to good working condition.
