  Your hearing aids work hard every day to help you stay connected to conversations, laughter, and the world around you. However, a few users are aware that two invisible enemies can quietly damage these devices: moisture and earwax. Without daily care, even the best hearing aids can lose performance, require repairs, or stop working altogether. Why is moisture and earwax a problem? Moisture is everywhere — in sweat, humidity, rain, and even from your skin. It can slip into your hearing aids and slowly corrode internal components.

  The ear mold of the   hearing aid   is a specially customized ear plug for the behind-the-ear   hearing   aid. It plays a very important role in the compensation of   hearing Loss : 1. Improve the acoustic characteristics. An ear mold with reasonable design and excellent craftsmanship can improve the hearing aid effect by about 30%. 2. Prevent acoustic feedback. The ear mold establishes a closed acoustic channel between the hearing aid and the ear. The sound outside the ear mold is moderately isolated, and the sound inside the ear mold will not leak out from the external auditory canal, thus avoiding acoustic feedback (howling). 3. Fix the hearing aid. The eardrum can make the hearing aid more stable and comfortable to wear. If the ear mold is not suitable, it needs to be replaced in time: 1. It is recommended that adults replace it once a year, and those with severe hearing loss should replace it every six months. 2. Children should replace it according ...
