Hearing aids are expensive and in order to
preserve them and benefit from them for a long
time, special care and attention is needed. They
should be carefully maintained and protected
from dust, moisture and all kinds of damage,
including falling off and getting lost.
How to avoid your hearing aid falling off
The problem may be due to an old or wrong
sized tubing or dome. You can easily replace
these with new ones and find the most suitable
size and form for your ear. Silicone domes
usually have a life of about three months so it
is common for them to need replacement 4-6 times
a year.
In addition, it is recommended that you
regularly check your ears for earwax buildup as
it can prevent the hearing aid fitting
correctly.
Practical solutions for keeping the hearing aid
in place
There are different accessories that can help
you protect your hearing aid. One option is to
use toupee tape, sticky pads, such as Phonak
Stick N Stay or other adhesives but some of
those may cause skin irritation and depending on
the chemicals used may cause damage to your
device.
Whatever the reason, you should take actions
immediately after you sense that you do not feel
comfortable or the hearing aid is too loose.
Postponing may lead to a loss of the device or
damage, both outcomes being costly.
