Hearing aids receivers

1. Wash your hands: This prevents dirt from getting into your hearing aid.
2. Open the battery door: This exposes the receiver.
3. Gently remove the old receiver: Use a gentle, twisting motion if necessary.
4. Insert the new receiver: Make sure it's snug but not forced. 
5. Close the battery door: Securely close the battery door to protect the receiver.
6. Turn on your hearing aid and test the sound: Ensure the new receiver is working correctly.

Hearing aid receivers typically last 1-3 years, but their lifespan can vary depending on several factors:

• Usage: More frequent use leads to faster wear.
• Environment: Earwax build-up, moisture, and dust can damage the receiver.
• Receiver Type: Durability varies between receivers.

 

To extend the life of your receivers:

1. Clean your hearing aids regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris.
2. Avoid moisture and heat: Keep your hearing aids away from excessive water and high temperatures.
3. Handle with care: Avoid dropping or damaging them.
4. Schedule regular check-ups: Visit your hearing care professional for routine maintenance.

Signs your receiver may need replacing:

• Decreased sound quality: Sounds may seem muffled or distorted.
• Buzzing noise: This indicates a problem with the receiver.
