It is a good idea to regularly clean and check your child’s hearing aids or processors and other equipment.
Some parents undertake this cleaning process every 3 months and align it with the school holidays which serve as a helpful reminder. If you have little ones you may need to clean them more often.
Craft or tackle boxes are good storage options for all your child’s hearing equipment.
For processors, use alcohol wipes and give them a good detail. Check the cables and replace mic covers etc.
Check your spare parts and batteries and then order what is needed.
Hearing aids are not waterproof and should be wiped with a soft dry cloth. Ear moulds and tubes can be washed in warm soapy water and dried with an air puffer.
This is a great time to explain the parts to your kids and teach them how to maintain them as they get older.
