This process only takes about five minutes before you go to bed and can improve your daily listening as well. To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Wipe down your hearing aids with a soft, dry, clean cloth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a wax pick\/wire loop to remove any stubborn debris.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the battery doors and clean the contact ports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave the battery doors open overnight to help moisture evaporate and to extend battery life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once a week, clean the tubing in warm water, then let them dry completely before reattaching them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Them Dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moisture is one of the biggest threats to the delicate technology within your hearing aids. When venturing out in the rain, make sure you wear a rain jacket with a hood or use an umbrella. When exercising, wear a sweatband. We also recommend investing in a dehumidifier from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acehardware.com\/store-details\/09382\" target=\"_blank\">Crown Ace Hardware<\/a> to store your devices at night to remove any residual moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Store Them Properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to take your hearing aids out for any reason like if you\u2019re going swimming or just taking them out for the night, it\u2019s important to store them in their case rather than just throwing them in your bag or on a nightstand. This will <a href=\"https:\/\/soundadviceburbank.com\/hearing-aids\/hearing-aid-repair-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prevent loss and damage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Them in for Regular Clean &amp; Checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to bring your devices in to Sound Advice for a clean and check appointment every six months.
