Your hearing aids aren’t just your way back to hearing the life you love—they’re an investment into your bodily health that improves your quality of life along with your listening capabilities.
When your devices aren’t working or fitting as they used to, it can be frustrating and worrying to think that the devices you rely on for your world aren’t performing the way they need to.
Before you panic (or worse, throw the devices out), try these three things to help rejuvenate your hearing aids.
1. Clean Your Hearing Aids
Hearing aids provide great hearing and enhanced listening comprehension, but due to their placement in your ears, earwax can sometimes lead to issues hearing or a feeling that your devices are about to fall out of your ears.
With a dry microfiber cloth, give your hearing aids a clean to remove excess wax; changing the wax guard can also help with troubles of feedback or choppy hearing.
2. A Factory Reset
It’s often the simple fixes that work wonders—for hearing aids that don’t want to turn on, or if you can’t hear anything at all, try turning them off and on again!
For rechargeable hearing aids, put them into the charging dock overnight; unpairing and re-pairing your devices from your phone can sometimes help with Bluetooth connection issues.
3. Adjust the Fit
Our ears grow with us; if your hearing aids feel loose or unstable in your ears, it could be that your ears have changed shape, or your current hearing aids no longer fit properly after continued use and wear.
With different earpieces for certain models, or a quick cleaning of your ears, you can find the best fit for your hearing aids without sacrificing sound quality.
