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. Make sure to perform this cleaning routine at the end of the day when the hearing aids are not in use.
Charging and Battery Care
For the RIC-R rechargeable model, charge the device every night using the original charging dock. Ensure the charging contacts are clean and free from moisture. Never attempt to charge the hearing aid with third-party chargers or in high humidity.
For the RIC-312 battery model, replace the battery once it’s depleted—usually every 5 to 7 days. Always carry spare batteries and store them in a cool, dry place. Remove the battery at night to preserve its life and avoid corrosion.
Moisture Control
Due to the humid climate in Bangladesh, managing moisture is critical. Use a hearing aid dehumidifier or a drying box overnight to keep the internal components safe from humidity damage. Avoid exposing the hearing aids to water, steam, or excessive sweat. If your device gets wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and place it in a drying kit.
Ear Tip and Wax Guard Replacement
Inspect the ear tips and wax guards regularly for signs of earwax buildup or blockage. Replace wax guards and domes as recommended by your hearing care professional—usually every few weeks. Using clogged wax guards can reduce sound quality and strain the device.
Professional Maintenance
Schedule regular appointments at a certified hearing centre such as the National Hearing Care Centre in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, for professional cleaning and performance checks. These visits help identify any issues early and ensure your hearing aids are adjusted correctly for optimal use.
Handle with Care
Always handle your hearing aids gently. When inserting or removing them, make sure your hands are clean and dry. Dropping or roughly handling the devices can damage delicate internal components. Use both hands for removal to avoid twisting the receiver wire or pulling on parts that could loosen over time.
Storage Practices
Store your hearing aids in a protective case when not in use. Keep the case in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid leaving the devices in high-temperature environments, such as inside parked vehicles, as extreme heat can cause battery leakage or plastic warping.
Avoid Hair and Skin Products
When using hair spray, lotions, or perfume, make sure your hearing aids are removed or fully protected. These products can clog microphone ports or damage the outer shell. Wait until the products have fully dried before reinserting your hearing aids.
Check for Software Updates
If you’re using the Thrive Hearing Control app, check regularly for firmware or software updates. Keeping your hearing aids up-to-date ensures optimal performance, better compatibility with smartphones, and improved access to features like remote adjustments and health tracking.
Environmental Awareness
For people living in urban or industrial areas of Bangladesh, like Dhaka or Chittagong, it’s important to clean the hearing aids more frequently due to exposure to dust and air pollution. Rural users may also need to watch for moisture and mud in more humid or agricultural environments.
Microphone Port Care
Dust and debris can accumulate around the microphone ports, reducing sound clarity. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently clean around the microphone areas every few days. Be careful not to push debris further into the port.
Tubing and Dome Maintenance
For models with domes or tubing, inspect them regularly for blockages, wear, or discoloration. Replace domes every few weeks or sooner if they appear damaged or affect sound quality. Tubes should be checked monthly and replaced if they become hard, brittle, or discolored.
Avoiding Physical Damage
Handle your hearing aids with care. Avoid dropping them or exposing them to strong impacts. When inserting or removing them, do so over a soft surface to reduce the risk of breakage.
Cleaning Schedule
Establish a daily and weekly cleaning routine. Daily: wipe down the hearing aid and check for visible debris. Weekly: use deeper cleaning tools (brush, wax loop) to clean the microphone and receiver ports. This habit ensures optimal performance and hygiene.
