1. Good Maintenance Extends the Life of Hearing Aids
Can you relate to the following story about
the importance of hearing aid maintenance?
Mary couldn't believe what she'd been
missing when she finally received her
hearing aids, the sounds of her
grandchildren playing in the back yard, the
music at church, the morning serenade as
the birds wake up around her property. She
felt like a participant in life again and not just a spectator. However, it
wasn't six months after she started using her hearing aids that the sounds of
life started to fade again.
Routine cleaning and maintenance could have extended the life of her
device. Keeping your hearing aids working is often as simple as regular
hearing aid maintenance. It's important to remove the device when you
don't need it and switch it off to avoid unnecessary wear and tear and to
extend the life of the batteries.
You also should make sure that your ears are completely dry before you
insert the hearing aid and that you store the device in a closed container
when it’s not in use. Even the smallest amount of moisture can cause the
battery inside the aid to corrode, just like Mary's did.

order? Visit our office for more information on this and other topics relating
