Tips for Caring for Your Hearing Aids

Tip 1 Keep them dry.
Tip 2 Keep them clean – an old tooth brush works best , brush them each day.
Tip 3 Remove and insert batteries over a soft surface, it provides a soft landing if you drop them and they don’t bounce as far.
Tip 4 Keep them out of extreme temperatures.
Tip 5 Remove before using hairspray.
Tip 6 Keep them away from small children and pets. Pets are very attracted to them and it usually results in an expensive repair, or replacement.
Tip 7
 		Open the battery door nightly, it allows the fresh air to circulate through the aid and conserves the battery.
