Why Hearing Aids Fail

Hearwax

By far the most common reason why hearing aids fail is earwax (cerumen). Earwax is part of the body's way of naturally cleaning its ear canals. Earwax flows from a gland in the ear canal outwards, attaching itself to any dirt, debris, or foreign matter that has found its way into the ear. The movement of our jaw aids in this process. The secretion of earwax by the body is a completely normal, healthy and necessary process. But when a hearing aid is placed into the ear canal, the hearing aid disrupts the natural flow of earwax out of the ear. Due to the placement of a hearing aid into the ear, the hearing aid is subject to contamination from earwax. 

Hearwax Solution

The easiest way to prevent earwax from damaging your hearing aids is to keep them clean. Daily brushing or cleaning of the hearing aid receiver (speaker) is by far the best way to prevent damage. Most hearing aid manufacturers provide a small brush with your purchase. We have found that an old toothbrush is easier to hold on to and works better.

 The time of day that you clean your hearing aids also matters. Earwax is usually soft and gooey, kinda like mud. When is it easiest to brush the mud off your clothes? When mud is wet and you try to brush it off, the mud just kinda, "shmears". But when the mud has dried, it easily brushes off. That's how it is with earwax, it is best to brush off earwax after it has been allowed to dry. Most people wear their hearing aids all day and take them off to sleep at night. The best time to brush your hearing aid is in the morning after the earwax has been allowed to dry overnight.

 Most hearing aids today have a canoes filter or war guard system integrated into the pan of the hearing aid that fits into the ear canal. These earwax filters should be brushed every morning prior to wearing. From time to time these earwax filters should be changed. There are several different earwax filter designs used by the varying hearing aid manufacturers. All seem to be easy to use and effective. See Soundak.com/accessories for a brand-specific selection of hearing aid way guards and filters.

Moisture

Moisture is not good for any type of electronic device. Our bodies are approximately 50-60% moisture. Wearing hearing aids exposes them to our body's heat, humidity, sweat and chemicals. Keeping hearing aids clean and dry is vital to their satisfactory performance. Moisture kills electronic devices including hearing aids. 

Moisture Solution

Keep your hearing aids clean and dry. Wipe the sweat off your hearing aids when you come in from outdoors or if possible avoid wearing your hearing aids altogether when heavily sweating. No swimming, showering, hot tubbing, or water sliding while wearing hearing aids. Accidents do happen and there will be times when you accidentally get in the shower while wearing your hearing aids. Only to be discovered when you start shampooing your hair. When this occurs, immediately take your hearing aids off, completely remove the battery, wipe them off thoroughly and place them somewhere to dry. After you have allowed them to dry (usually overnight), place a fresh battery in your hearing aids and check for functionality. Hopefully, no damage has been done.

Most modern hearing aids are now considered to be water or moisture resistant. Water resistance implies that a particular device can continue to function even if exposed to a small amount of moisture for a short period of time. Water resistant does NOT mean waterproof. Excessive exposure to moisture or over extended periods of time will damage any hearing aid.

 There are specific hearing aid accessories that help assist in the drying of hearing aids. The two main types are active and passive hearing aid dryers.

Passive Hearing Aid Dryers

Passive hearing aid dryers are the least expensive to purchase and operate. The most common passive hearing aid dryers use a simple glass at or plastic container. Moisture absorbing material (desiccant) is placed into the container with the hearing aid and the lid is closed. The moisture is absorbed from the hearing aid into the material. 

Active Hearing Aid Dryers

Active hearing aid drying system designs can vary greatly. Some active hearing aid dryers use desiccants, heaters, fans, or IN lights, while others use a combination of these features and processes. Active hearing aid dryer systems can be very effective in the functional longevity or life of hearing aids. 

Waterproof Hearing Aids

Currently, no manufacturer produces any hearing aid that they claim to be waterproof'. Siemens (now Signia), in the past, had produced a waterproof hearing aid named Aquarius. The Aquaris hearing aid has been discontinued.

Worn or Broken Hearing Aid Parts 

Like any other electronic device, hearing aids can wear out or physically damaged due to dropping, crushing, etc. Buttons, switches, dials, ear hooks, microphones, receivers (speakers) can simply just wear out from use. When this occurs, the only real option is to have your hearing aid professionally repaired. If your hearing aid is still under warranty, the best option for you is to send it back to the original manufacturer for repair. For hearing aids not under warranty, you have two options:

 1. You can take your hearing aid into a local hearing aid professional and they can send it into the original manufacturer or an All-Make hearing aid repair lab.

 2. You can send your hearing aid into an All-Make hearing aid repair lab yourself. As hearing aids get older (generally 5 years), the original hearing aid manufacturer may cease to support service or even have parts to repair that specific product. In that case, your only option is to send your hearing aid to an All-Make hearing aid repair lab such as Soundak.  Soundak Hearing Aid Repair Lab has been repairing all brands of hearing aids for over 20 years and maintains an extensive inventory of OEM or equivalent parts for repair.

Additional Tips for Maintaining Hearing Aids 

In addition to keeping them clean and dry, including the batteries, there are a few other things you can do to reduce repairs and increase the life of your hearing aids. Be gentle and avoid dropping them, keep them out of reach of pets (pets love the smell and taste of earwax), and small children. Store them in a protective case or closed nightstand/dresser drawer when not in use. Hearing aids can be vulnerable to extreme heat or cold, just store them at a normal room temperature. Do not wear hearing aids when using a hair dryer. Don't wear hearing aids when applying hairspray, sunscreen, or cologne. Chemicals can foul up the microphones, receivers (speakers), buttons and switches.
