Maintenance Plans

• Check the battery: A charged battery will squeal or make noise when cupped in your hand or when you cup your hand over the hearing aid when it has been inserted.
• Check for wax, dirt, and debris: Moisture, wax, and dust are the enemy of your hearing aid.  If there is wax, dirt, or debris in or over the microphone, it can prevent your hearing aid from functioning properly.  We recommend that the cerumen (ear wax) is removed on a regular basis. This can be accomplished with a weekly irrigation using Peroxide or a prepared ear wash.  It is also recommended that the ear canals be examined during each visit to a Medical Doctor, remembering that any and all wax, dirt and debris must be removed from the ear canal so it doesn’t migrate into the receiver tube of the hearing aid.
