How to Clean Hearing Aids: Daily & Weekly Routine
Daily (30 seconds, non-negotiable)
Each night: wipe the device with the supplied dry microfibre cloth, inspect the dome/receiver opening for wax, and store in the closed charging case. Never use water, alcohol, sanitizer or wet wipes — they attack coatings and seals. That's the entire daily routine; consistency beats intensity.
Weekly and monthly
Weekly: brush the microphone ports gently with the cleaning brush (openings face down so debris falls out), and remove/wipe silicone domes. Monthly: change the wax guard — the tiny filter protecting the receiver. Blocked wax guards cause the majority of 'my hearing aid died' complaints; the swap takes two minutes with the stick tool in your kit. In humid months change fortnightly.
The never-do list
No hair-dryers, radiators or sunlight-baking after moisture exposure (use the drying capsule/electronic dryer instead). No sharp objects in microphone ports. No storing in bathrooms. No oiling — nothing on a hearing aid needs lubrication. If sound stays weak after a wax-guard change and full overnight dry, it's a service call — WhatsApp us and we'll arrange pickup anywhere in India.
