Your hearing aids aren’t just an investment in your hearing health, but in your overall quality of life and well-being. With strong, healthy hearing, you can stay connected to your loved ones, keep your balance and memory sharp, and hear the life you love without interruption.
So, when your hearing aids are producing muffled sound or feedback, or not working at all, it’s only natural to feel frustrated or disheartened.
All technology needs a tune-up from time to time to keep it operating as required; here are some tips to look after your hearing aids and get them back in working order.
1. Give Your Hearing Aids a Clean
Hearing aids, like all technology out there, need some care to make sure they’re performing to their best abilities.
Give your devices a gentle wipe-down with a microfiber cloth to remove waxy residue on the outer casing and see if a quick clean can help remedy ill-fitting aids or feedback issues. Swapping the wax guard within the hearing aid tube can also help with muffled sound or no sound at all.
2. Adjust the Fit or Ear Domes
Our ears grow with us as we get older, so there’s every chance that your hearing aid may not fit as it used to. A quick adjustment can help with an uncomfortable or loose fit. Swapping out the ear domes, the pieces that go inside your ears, can also help your hearing aid sound much clearer and fit better without irritation.
3. A Factory Reset
The classic “Did you try turning it off and on again?” is classic for a reason! If your hearing aid doesn’t seem to be working correctly, or it isn’t connecting to your phone via Bluetooth, a simple reset can sometimes do the trick of fixing the problem.
