  5. Your Hearing Aid • Battery • MTO Switch • Volume Control • Microphone(s) • Earhook • Tubing • Earmold Note : To distinguish the right hearing aid from the left, have your audiologist attach red and blue stickers to the hearing aid or use a permanent marker to place a small red or blue dot on each aid. • Red = Right • Blue = Left

  6. How Your Hearing Aid Works • Sounds are picked up by the hearing aid MICROPHONE. • The sound is made louder by the AMPLIFIER. • The sound passes through the TUBING and the EARMOLD and enters the ear canal. • The sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate, setting the tiny middle ear bones into vibration. • These vibrations are transferred into the cochlea in the inner ear where the information is sent to the brain.

  7. We also serve... Taking Care of Your Hearing Aid Batteries Maintenance Cleaning Visual Inspection Listening Checks

  8. Batteries • Batteries can be purchased at drugstores, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. • The numbers and colors of batteries are standard across manufacturers. • Sizes and Colors • 675 – Blue • 312 – Brown • 13 – Orange • 10 – Yellow • 5 – Red

  9. Maintenance • Cleaning a BTE • Earmold • Use wax loop every day to remove any wax, dirt, etc. from all holes in the earmold. • Occasionally, the earmold can be detached from the hearing aid and soaked in soapy water and left separated from the hearing aid to dry. Note : Wash only one earmold at a time to prevent hearing aid mix-ups - Hearing Aid • Wipe with a dry cloth • Never use cleaning solutions, alcohol, etc. on the hearing aid itself

  10. Maintenance • Dry Aid Kit • Every night, remove the battery and leave the door open. Place the hearing aid and earmold into the dry aid kit. This pulls out extra moisture and will make the hearing aid last longer. • Keep the kit closed at all times, even when not in use. • Follow directions for reactivating after all colored crystals are gone.

  11. Maintenance • Visual Inspection • Battery check • No corrosion, dirt or rust on battery or inside battery compartment • Use battery tester every morning to ensure sufficient battery strength • Earmold • Check for wax in holes • Be sure it fits properly in the ear (no gaps) • No cracks • Tubing • Not cracked, twisted, excessively hard or discolored • Hearing Aid • No cracks in casing • Controls move easily • Be sure it is clean

  12. Maintenance • Listening Check • Using a listening tube/stethoscope, talk into the hearing aid. While talking, listen for: • Pops • Distortion • Unwanted Noise • Press on the casing of the hearing aid while listening. The sound should not cut in and out. • Turn hearing aid on and off. Adjust the volume controls (if activated) and change between programs. There should be smooth transitions while performing these tasks.
