Why Cleaning Your Hearing Aids Matters

Hearing aids are precision medical devices that sit in or behind your ear all day. They're exposed to earwax, moisture, dust, and sweat. Without regular cleaning, performance degrades, sound becomes muffled, and the lifespan shortens significantly.

A well-maintained German original Signia hearing aid can last 6-10 years. Poor maintenance can cut that in half.

Daily Cleaning Routine (2 Minutes)

Wipe the surface: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the entire hearing aid every night before charging/storing
Check the sound opening: Look for wax buildup in the speaker/receiver opening. Use the brush tool provided with your hearing aid
Check the microphone ports: Tiny holes on BTE models — gently brush away debris
Open the battery door: (For battery models) Open the battery door at night to let moisture escape
Place in dry storage: Use a hearing aid drying box or dehumidifier container overnight

Weekly Deep Cleaning

Replace wax guards/filters: Most Signia models have replaceable wax guards. Change weekly or when clogged
Clean ear moulds: For BTE models, detach the ear mould and wash with warm soapy water. Dry completely before reattaching
Inspect tubing: Check BTE tubing for cracks, discoloration, or moisture droplets
Use cleaning wipes: Alcohol-free hearing aid wipes for thorough sanitization

Cleaning by Hearing Aid Type

Type	Key Areas to Clean	Special Care
BTE (Behind-The-Ear)	Ear mould, tubing, microphone	Detach mould for washing, dry tubing
CIC/IIC (In-Canal)	Wax guard, sound opening	Use wax pick tool, never use water
RIC (Receiver-In-Canal)	Receiver dome, wax guard	Replace domes monthly, gentle brushing
Rechargeable	Charging contacts, microphone	Keep contacts clean for proper charging

What NOT to Do

Never use water, alcohol, or chemicals directly on hearing aids
Never use a hair dryer to dry hearing aids — excessive heat damages electronics
Never leave hearing aids in direct sunlight or hot cars
Never wear hearing aids in the shower, swimming pool, or during heavy rain
Never attempt to open or repair hearing aids yourself

When to Visit Your Audiologist for Servicing

Even with perfect home care, professional servicing is essential. Visit Professional Hearing Solutions every 3-6 months for:

Professional ultrasonic cleaning
Performance testing and recalibration
Tubing and dome replacement
Software updates and reprogramming
Inspection for wear and damage

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I clean my hearing aids?

Daily surface cleaning (2 minutes) and weekly deep cleaning is recommended. Professional servicing every 3-6 months.

Can I use alcohol wipes on hearing aids?

Only alcohol-free hearing aid wipes. Regular alcohol wipes can damage the coating and electronics.
