Chargers
Disposable batteries are not environment friendly. Therefore it is advised for Hearing Aid users to opt for rechargeable batteries. These batteries are not only environment friendly but also pocket friendly.
Stocking up extra packs of batteries and replacing them time and again can be exhaustive. In such cases, rechargeable batteries come handy. These rechargeable batteries eliminate the constant need of carrying extra batteries.
Silver-zinc and/or Lithium-ion batteries can power your Hearing aid device for 12-24 hours. These rechargeable batteries may lose their strength to carry charge, that’s when you can simply change the batteries just like the disposable batteries.
Cleaning tools
The best precautionary measure to ensure the long life of your hearing aid device is the cleaning and maintaining them. Following are some of the usual tools you can use to clean your device:
- Cleaning brush: These brushes are best suitable for cleaning as well as polishing the interior of your device.
- Multifunctional stylus: It is a combination of a wire loop and a brush. This tool is pen-sized and helps you to fasten your cleaning process.
- Wax pick: Earwax tends to reduce the hearing aids’ performance. In order to mitigate the issue, wax picks will help you comfortably and carefully scrape the wax.
- Vent cleaner: This is a thin rod-like tool. It helps to capture debris and wax.
Dehumidifier
Keeping the hearing aids away from moisture is critical for its longevity. A dehumidifier is one such accessory that can help you keep your aids safely. Hearing care professionals recommend to use these dehumidifiers overnight.
There are mainly two types of dehumidifiers: Electric and Non-electric.
While electric dehumidifiers have an in-built electric fan, the non-electric ones use gel or desiccant to get rid of moisture.
They are easy to operate and immensely useful for those who stay in a humid environment.
