Hearing Aid Care & Maintenance
BTE Cleaning Routine
Weekly
Wipe down the surface of your dome and thin tube thoroughly with cleaning wipes or with the cloth provided, to remove any dirt or dry wax.
Clean all dirt collected in the sound outlet at the end of your dome by using the brush provided.
If there appears to be any moisture on your hearing aid, please put it into a Dehumidifier Kit overnight.
Check the tubing for wax. If there are any blockages, detach the tubing from the hearing aid where they meet. Then pass the cleaning thread through the tubing and pull out at the other end. Once clean, reattach the tubing to the hearing aid.
Monthly
Wipe down the surface of your mould with soft cloth provided to remove any dirt or dry wax.
Clean all dirt collected in the sound outlet by using the brush provided. The other end of the brush can also be used to pick free any wax that has become stuck in the sound outlet.
If your hearing aid has a small vent hole under the sound outlet, clean this with the brush provided.
If there appears to be any moisture on your hearing aid, please put it into a dry kit.
Check your tubing for moisture droplets. If any are found, remove the tubing from the hearing aid where the two meet. Then use a air pump to clear the moisture before reattaching the tubing to the hearing aid.
Six Months
Carefully check your domes, checking for deterioration such as tears, hardening or severe discolouring. If you see deterioration, please contact your nearest HearFon hearing centre to arrange a 7 star service check.
Similarly check your thin tubes. Make sure there are no splits or kinks in the tubing. Also check for any hardening or severe discolouring. If there are any problems with your tubing contact your nearest HearFon hearing centre to arrange a 7 star service check.
If your hearing aid has microphone protectors these will need to be changed at least once every six months as instructed by your Hearing Aid Audiologist.
