With the evolution of technology, more and more people choose rechargeable hearing aids. They do not require frequent battery replacement, are easy to use, and are environmentally friendly. However, proper maintenance and use habits can significantly improve the device’s life span and keep sound quality at a high level. In the following, we will introduce to you practical daily maintenance tips.
Why do you need to take special care of rechargeable hearing aid maintenance?
Rechargeable hearing aids have lithium batteries or other rechargeable batteries. If used improperly, it can lead to a deterioration in the battery performance, resulting in shorter battery life or even a failure to charge. Not only does proper maintenance guarantee the stable performance of hearing devices, but it also saves on repair and replacement expenses.
Tips for daily maintenance
(1) Keep dry
Moisture is the biggest enemy of hearing aids. When using rechargeable hearing aids, keep them away from steam, sweat, or rain. It is recommended to place the hearing aid in a drying box or electronic dryer once it is removed every day so that moisture cannot damage the electronic components.
(2) Regular charging
To extend the battery life, rechargeable hearing aids should be charged at the recommended time and not permitted to drain fully prior to charging. The majority of hearing aids are designed to charge at any time, so it is better to maintain a consistent charge.
(3) Avoid excessive heat or cold
Severe heat or cold will affect battery performance. Avoid placing rechargeable hearing aids in direct sunlight or cold outdoor environments.
(4) Regular cleaning
After removing the hearing aid, gently wipe it with a clean, soft cloth to keep the charging contacts free of dust and dirt. This will ensure that the rechargeable hearing aid is charged properly and avoid poor contact.
(5) Use the original charger
Different models of rechargeable hearing aids may require different voltages or currents. Use the original charger to avoid damaging the device or affecting battery life.
