Support & Knowledge Base
Explore answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding audiology diagnostics, modern hearing technology, and aftercare.
1. How often should I clean my hearing aids?
You should clean your hearing aids daily using a dry cloth or cleaning brush. Wipe down the shell to remove skin oils, and gently brush the receiver dome to clear away earwax before it hardens.
2. What should I do if my hearing aid gets wet?
Immediately open the battery compartment, remove the battery, and dry the device thoroughly. Place it inside a dedicated hearing aid dehumidifier or drying cup overnight. Do not use hair dryers or microwaves.
3. How long do hearing aid batteries typically last?
Standard disposable batteries typically last between 3 to 14 days, depending on battery size, your wireless streaming usage, and daily wear hours. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are built to last a full 24 hours per charge.
4. How do I know when to replace the wax guard?
Replace the wax guard if you physically see earwax clogging the tiny mesh filter, or if you experience a noticeable drop in volume, sound distortion, or if the hearing aid stops producing sound completely.
5. Why is my hearing aid whistling or making feedback noises?
Whistling (feedback) usually occurs when amplified sound escapes the ear canal and re-enters the microphone. Common causes include an improper fit, excessive earwax blockages in the ear canal, or an incorrectly seated dome.
6. Can I wear my hearing aids while sleeping?
No, it is highly recommended to remove your hearing aids while sleeping. This gives your ear canals ventilation, prevents physical damage to the devices, and avoids uncomfortable feedback sounds against the pillow.
7. How often do I need a professional hearing test?
You should schedule a professional hearing test annually. Our hearing ability changes gradually over time, and annual testing allows us to calibrate your devices to fit your current hearing threshold accurately.
8. What is the warranty period for new hearing devices?
All new premium medical hearing devices come with a comprehensive 2 to 3-year manufacturer warranty that covers component repairs, electrical issues, and complete loss or accidental damage protection.
9. Do you offer clinical trial periods for hearing aids?
Yes, we offer a risk-free 30-day clinical trial on recommended hearing aids. This allows you to experience the spatial audio and noise-reduction features in your familiar daily home and work environments.
10. Can hearing aids be connected directly to my smartphone or TV?
Absolutely. Modern devices support direct iOS and Android streaming via Bluetooth Low Energy (LE). This lets you stream phone calls, music, podcasts, and smart TV audio directly to your hearing aids.
11. What is the difference between rechargeable and disposable batteries?
Rechargeable batteries are sealed within the device and charged overnight, eliminating the need to handle small parts. Disposable batteries are micro zinc-air cells that must be manually replaced every few days.
12. How should I store my hearing aids when not in use?
Keep them inside their protective hard case, ideally stored inside a cool, dry room. Avoid bathrooms where hot steam can damage internal microcircuitry and keep them out of reach of domestic pets.
13. Is wax build-up in my ear canal normal?
Yes, cerumen (earwax) is natural and healthy. However, excessive build-up can block sound and cause feedback. We offer professional microsuction earwax removal in-clinic to safely clear any blockages.
14. What support services are included with my purchase?
Every premium hearing aid purchase includes lifetime clinical follow-ups, remote programming sessions, yearly audiogram checks, cleaning supplies, and access to priority emergency clinic care.
