There are certain things that you can do on a regular basis to ensure that your hearing aids are going to work as they should and are going to last you for as long as possible.

Always Keep Them Dry

You will also want to make sure that if water does happen to get on your hearings aids, that you dry them off immediately using a cloth. Also, storing them in a dry place, such as an enclosed container, is going to be the best way to ensure that they don't get any moisture in them when you aren't wearing them. 

Clean Your Hearing Aids Daily 

Another simple task that can help you better care for your hearing aids is to clean them daily. To clean them, you will simply use a dry cloth to remove any wax, dirt, or dust that has gathered onto the hearing aid throughout the course of the day. This doesn't take long, but can stop these things from clogging the hearing aid and reducing its ability to function properly for you. There are also hearing aid cleaners out there that you can purchase that use an ultraviolet light to kill different kinds of bacteria that can gather on your hearing aid. 

Change The Batteries In Your Hearing Aid Regularly
