Very powerful hearing aids use more power than less powerful hearing aids. It also depends on the settings of the hearing aid and its use. Before using the battery, it should first remove the adhesive label to allow air into the battery to work. For unused batteries, it should be stored in a dry place to prevent moisture affecting normal operation.

For cleaning the ear molds, you may apply a small amount of detergent, soak it for ten minutes, and then wash it with water. After flushing the ear molds, you may use earmold pump to eliminate the water inside. When the ear mold is dry, you may continue to use the ear molds and headset.

By using an ear wax guard, you can protect your hearing aid from ear wax build-up, and maintain its performance. It needs to clean daily by a special tool (supplied with hearing aids). We recommend you change it if you can visibly see a build-up of wax, or you notice the performance of your hearing aid deteriorates. We suggest you check it on a daily basis.
