Oticon offers many facilities and services on the purchase of their hearing aids. Apart from periodic premium quality repair and service at select centers across the world, Oticon hearing aids need regular cleaning and maintenance services. Follow some of the maintenance steps listed below regularly to ensure a hassle-free hearing experience.

Handle with care
This is a no-brainer that once you purchase your hearing aid, it becomes rather important for you to ensure your device is kept away from trying environmental conditions like humidity, direct/extreme heat, chemical interaction, dust, and the like.

Many hearing aids are water-resistant and fit to be worn throughout the day; however, it is important that you remove your device while showering or while participating in water activities. Moisture, condensation, dampness, perfume sprays, lotions, etc. may adversely affect the device. Ensure your hearing aid is kept away from seemingly potential dangers.

Cleaning the device
Keeping your device clean is the least that you can do to keep it working effectively for a long duration. While cleaning your device may depend on the type of device you own, it is essential that you clean your device regularly with a clean, dry, and soft cloth. Some of the general cleaning rules irrespective of your aid style includes avoiding the use of water, sprays, solutions to clean the device, ensuring your hands are dry, using a special brush for cleaning, and the like. Regular use of the device may often block the microphone inlets, ensure you treat any such blockage promptly for a continued hearing comfort.

Use wax protection systems
The ear canal continually produces ear wax that may often block the earpiece. Most hearing aids, therefore, come with a filter to reduce wax formation on the hearing aids. It is essential that you use wax protection tools and clean the earplugs regularly to protect your earplugs from clogging up.
