Battery Door – open the battery doors when not in use, for the oils on your skin dirt and grime won’t build up around the edges of the battery doors.

Volume Control – remove dirt and grime on top of the volume control using the brush that your hearing aid specialist provided for you. Clean underneath the volume wheel as much as possible with the brush. The volume wheel should turn as you clean it so brush both clockwise and counter-clockwise.

Switches – Again, remove oil from the skin and grime getting on the switch, use your brush to clean the hearing aids with the switch in both positions.

Memory Buttons – use your brush on the memory button as well once again due to the oils on your skin and grime forming on the memory button eventually working its way into the circuitry.

Microphone – use your brush on the microphones, do not force the brush into the holes where the microphones are located. Avoid using hairspray with your hearing aids in your ears.

Sound Tube- if you do not have a wax guard, use the wire end of your brush or the wired cleaning tool your hearing aids came with to gently clean the wax out of the end of the hearing aid where the sound comes out, the end which goes into your ear.

Shell – cleaning solutions can be purchased, but in most cases a tissue to dry your hearing aids and wipe them off is sufficient.
