Care and MAINTENANCE OF HEARING AIDS-Do wipe them regularly with a tissue and occasionally with a slightly damp sponge. Do disconnect a BTE mold from the aid occasionally, and wash the mold in warm soapy water. The tubing may take a day or so to dry out unless you have a hand pumped air blower to dry it. Do clean wax out of the tip, whenever it is present, with a brush, a loop, a pick, or by operating or changing an in-built wax guard. Do store them overnight in their box or some other container. Do remove the battery if you are going to store the hearing aid for more than one day. DON’T: Don’t wash them. Don’t wear them in the shower, or the bath or the swimming pool, but if this happens by accident, don’t dry the hearing aid in an oven or a microwave. Don’t insert anything more than 3 mm up the hole in the end of the aid. Don’t spray them with hair spray. Don’t leave them in the car in the sun.
