It will ensure you continue to enjoy the best performance, comfort and communication with the world around you.
Hearing Aid Maintenance Do’s & Don’ts
Do ...
- Prevent problems by turning daily hearing aid care into a routine. This will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your hearing aids.

Don’t ...

- Wear your hearing aid when you’re in the shower/bath, steam bath or washing your hair in a sink or at the salon.
- Handle your hearing aid or batteries if you have lotion of any kind on your hands.
