The Underrated Threats to Hearing Aids: Moisture & Wax Build-Up

图片
  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. Meanwhile, earwax (cerumen) naturally produced by your body can clog sound openings, reduce sound quality, and block airflow. Good news: you don’t need expensive service visits to prevent these issues. With a few basic tools and a daily habit, you can keep your hearing aids clean, dry, and performing like new. The Three Essentials for Hearing Aid Hygiene: 1. Drying Box / Dehumidifier Case. After a long day of wearing your hearing aids, they need a break. ...

Ear Mold Fit and Feedback: What Every Hearing Aid User Should Know

图片
  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 ...

Do Hearing Aids Benefit People with Hearing Loss

图片
  The answer to “Can hearing aids help deaf people?” depends on the type and severity of deafness. 1. Hearing Aids Help Many, But Not All Hearing aids can help people who have mild to moderate or even some severe hearing loss. They work by amplifying sound, making it easier for the user to hear conversations, environmental sounds, and more. For these individuals, hearing aids can significantly improve communication and quality of life. 2. Profound Deafness or Total Hearing Loss For people who are profoundly deaf or have no usable hearing in one or both ears, traditional hearing aids are often not effective. This is because no amount of amplification will make sound clearer if the inner ear (cochlea) is too damaged to process it. In such cases, other options might be more appropriate: Cochlear implants – Electronic devices that bypass damaged parts of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Bone-anchored hearing systems – For people with conductive hearing loss or single-...

Can Hearing Aids Improve Hearing Loss

图片
  Modern   hearing aids   are small electronic devices worn in or behind the ear that amplify sounds to improve speech understanding and participation in daily activities. They are most effective for sensorineural and mild-to-moderate conductive hearing loss and can significantly enhance communication, reduce cognitive load, and improve overall quality of life for users. Recent technological advances—such as digital signal processing, directional microphones, noise reduction algorithms, and wireless connectivity—have further boosted their performance in challenging listening environments. While hearing aids do not “cure” hearing loss, they are a critical component of comprehensive hearing care and yield the best outcomes when properly fitted, programmed, and maintained by a qualified audiologist. How Hearing Aids Work A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear to amplify sounds and improve communication in daily life. It typically consi...

Why Regular Earwax Guard Replacement is Essential for Hearing Aids

图片
  Hearing aids  are invaluable devices that help individuals with hearing loss regain clarity in communication and daily life. To ensure optimal performance, regular maintenance is essential. One crucial yet often overlooked component is the earwax guard (earwax filter). This small but vital part plays a significant role in preserving the longevity and functionality of hearing aids. Why Should You Replace the Earwax Guard Regularly? 1. Prevent Earwax Blockage The human ear naturally produces earwax, which can accumulate and clog the hearing aid’s receiver or sound tube over time. A blocked earwax guard can impede sound transmission, resulting in reduced volume, distortion, or even complete loss of sound. Regular replacement ensures uninterrupted sound clarity and functionality. 2. Maintain Clear and Natural Sound Quality A dirty or obstructed earwax guard can lead to muffled, weak, or distorted sound, negatively impacting the listening experience. Consistent replacement helps ...
