Maintenance
Regular Cleaning
Clean your hearing aids daily to remove dirt, earwax, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth or a specialised hearing aid cleaning tool to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using liquids or cleaning agents that can damage the device. For in-depth cleaning, use a small brush to gently remove debris from the receiver and microphone ports.
Battery Care (BTE 13 and BTE Power Plus)
For battery-operated models, always use fresh, high-quality batteries. Open the battery door when not in use to extend battery life and allow moisture to escape. Replace the batteries when you hear a low-battery alert or notice a drop in sound quality. Dispose of used batteries properly and keep spare ones on hand.
Charging Tips (BTE R)
For the rechargeable BTE R model, charge the device fully each night using the Starkey-approved charger. Ensure the contacts on both the device and charger are clean. Avoid overcharging or leaving the device in hot or humid environments while charging. Always unplug the charger when not in use.
Moisture Management
Keep your hearing aids dry. Remove them before showering, swimming, or using hair sprays and perfumes. Use a hearing aid dehumidifier or drying kit overnight, especially in humid climates, to prevent moisture buildup and prolong device life.
Tubing and Dome Checks
Regularly inspect the tubing and domes (if applicable) for signs of wear, hardening, or blockage. Replace tubing or domes as needed to maintain optimal sound quality. If you notice any distortion or feedback, this may be a sign that parts need to be cleaned or changed.
Professional Servicing
Schedule periodic check-ups with your hearing care provider at the National Hearing Care Centre. Our specialists will perform deep cleaning, performance checks, and software updates to ensure your device remains in peak condition. Early maintenance can prevent larger issues and extend the lifespan of your hearing aid.
Safe Storage
Always store your hearing aids in a protective case when not in use. Choose a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or high humidity. Keeping the devices in a designated storage box or drying container also protects them from accidental damage, pets, or young children. If you’re traveling, carry them in a padded case to prevent impact or exposure to dust and moisture.
Handling Precautions
Handle your hearing aids with clean, dry hands. Avoid dropping the devices on hard surfaces as this may damage internal components or alter performance. When inserting or removing them, do so over a soft surface like a towel. Be especially cautious when wearing or removing face masks, glasses, or hats, as these can dislodge BTE models.
Firmware and Software Updates
If your device is paired with the Starkey mobile app, ensure your app is regularly updated to benefit from the latest firmware, feature enhancements, and bug fixes. These updates can improve sound processing, connectivity, and user experience. Visit your hearing care provider or consult the app for update instructions.
When to Seek Professional Help
If your hearing aid stops working, produces distorted sound, emits feedback, or doesn’t charge (for BTE R), it’s important to consult a hearing care specialist promptly. Avoid trying to open or repair the device yourself, as this may void the warranty. The National Hearing Care Centre in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, offers professional maintenance services, adjustments, and part replacements for all Starkey models.
Environmental Awareness
Be mindful of your surroundings while using or storing your hearing aids. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, high humidity, dusty conditions, or environments with strong electromagnetic interference (such as near large motors or industrial machinery). These factors can affect sound quality, shorten device life, or cause malfunctions.
Wax Guard and Filter Maintenance
The wax guard or filter protects your hearing aid’s speaker from earwax and debris. Over time, it can become clogged and reduce sound output. Inspect it regularly and replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or when sound seems muffled. Always use Starkey-approved replacement parts, and follow the instructions included with the new filters to avoid damaging sensitive components.
Avoiding Accidental Water Exposure
While the Evolv AI 1000 BTE models are designed to be durable, they are not waterproof. Always remove your hearing aids before showering, swimming, or using a sauna. If your hearing aid is accidentally exposed to water, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and place it in a hearing aid drying kit or dehumidifier overnight. Avoid using a hairdryer or microwave to speed up drying—these methods can cause irreversible damage.
Seasonal and Climate Considerations
In hot, humid climates like Dhaka, hearing aids are more prone to moisture-related issues. During monsoon or summer seasons, consider daily use of a dehumidifying case to keep internal components dry. In cooler seasons, condensation can form from temperature changes, so allow the devices to adjust to room temperature before use if they’ve been stored in a cold area.
Hygiene Practices
Maintaining good ear hygiene is essential for the proper functioning of your hearing aids. Clean your ears regularly to prevent excess earwax buildup, which can block sound and damage internal components. However, avoid using cotton swabs inside the ear canal, as this can push wax deeper or injure your ear. Consult your audiologist for safe ear cleaning techniques or professional wax removal services if needed.
Backup and Spare Supplies
It’s wise to keep backup supplies on hand, especially for the BTE 13 and BTE Power Plus models. Store extra batteries, domes, tubing, and wax guards in a safe and dry place. For the rechargeable BTE R, having a portable power bank or spare charging case can be helpful during travel or emergencies. This ensures uninterrupted use and minimizes inconvenience if you encounter technical issues.
Conclusion
The Starkey Evolv AI 1000 BTE series—including the BTE R, BTE 13, and BTE Power Plus models—delivers a powerful combination of advanced hearing technology, user-friendly design, and personalized comfort.
