1. Daily Cleaning Routine
Wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove earwax and oils.
Use a brush or wax loop to clean the microphone ports and ear tips.
Check vents and filters daily and replace them when clogged.
2. End-of-Day Storage
Open battery compartment to let moisture escape (for disposable battery models).
Use a dehumidifier box or drying kit overnight, especially during humid monsoons.
Avoid leaving aids in the bathroom or direct sunlight—heat damages batteries and internal parts.
3. Battery & Rechargeable Care
For disposable batteries, replace them every 3–7 days and discard correctly.
For rechargeable models, follow the manufacturer’s charge guidelines—avoid overcharging overnight.
Use only the original charger or approved replacement to prevent damage.
4. Protection from Dust & Moisture
Don’t wear hearing aids while showering, swimming, or in heavy rain.
After exposure to dust, wipe devices thoroughly and store them properly.
Use special coated tubing and protective covers to repel water in humid weather.
5. Routine Professional Checkups

6. Handle with Care & Small Repairs

Avoid applying liquids directly—clean with soft cloths only.
Report any unusual sounds or issues promptly to avoid major problems.

Your device’s warranty (1–3 years) covers manufacturing defects, but you must follow all maintenance advice. Neglecting care can void warranties. Local support at Professional Hearing Solutions ensures:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between digital and analog hearing aids?
Digital hearing aids use computer chips to process sound, offering features like noise reduction, Bluetooth, and programmable settings. Analog aids simply amplify all sounds equally. Digital aids provide far superior hearing experience.
Can I connect hearing aids to my smartphone?
Yes. Most modern Signia hearing aids from 16 channels and above offer Bluetooth connectivity. You can stream calls, music, and adjust settings through the Signia app on iPhone or Android.
What are rechargeable hearing aids?
Rechargeable hearing aids use built-in lithium-ion batteries that charge overnight and last all day. No need to buy or change tiny batteries. Signia offers several rechargeable models starting from Rs.250,000 per pair.
What is the difference between BTE, RIC, CIC, and IIC hearing aids?
BTE (Behind-The-Ear) sits behind the ear. RIC (Receiver-In-Canal) is slimmer with receiver in the ear. CIC (Completely-In-Canal) fits inside the ear canal. IIC (Invisible-In-Canal) is the smallest and completely invisible.
How do noise-canceling hearing aids work?
Modern hearing aids use directional microphones and AI algorithms to identify speech vs noise. They amplify speech while reducing background noise, making conversation clearer in noisy environments like restaurants or weddings.
