Advice before cleaning

Due to the coronavirus, please wear gloves when cleaning hearing aids. If you have behind-the-ear hearing aids, clean the hearing aid surface with wet wipes that do not contain alcohol. For in-the-ear hearing aids, all kinds of wet wipes can be used to clean the hearing aids' surface.

The microphone inlets can easily get blocked. If you are having problems with your hearing aids, check that the microphone inlets are not blocked.

Before handling a hearing aid, make sure you hold it over a soft surface to avoid damage if you drop it.
