How to Prevent Expensive Hearing Aid Repairs

One of my patients had 3 hearing aid failures within the last two months and all could have been avoided if he had simply cleaned the small openings of the microphones and speakers of his hearing aids. Luckily my lab was able to clean the earwax from the speakers and we were able to prevent a costly repair and a very frustrated patient.

I showed him how to perform the proper maintenance at home His behind the ear hearing aids which had a receiver (speaker) in the canal are the most popular model of hearing aid.
