How to Clean Hearing Aids
Briefly

To maintain hearing aids, start by gently brushing the tip of the eartip to eliminate wax accumulation, using a wire loop for stubborn buildup. Clean the back of the receiver with a microfiber cloth to dislodge any debris. Older hearing aids may feature a long vent, which requires a special wire for cleaning. Additionally, replace wax guards regularly—often once a month—using a special tool included in the kit. This ensures the hearing aids function properly by preventing earwax from entering their internal mechanisms.
