Hearing aids are often described as mini-computers. Due to the complex technology and miniature size, the prices for the highest technology levels are between 1,000 and 4,000 euros per ear. The degree of individualization and automation are important criteria with which significant price differences can be explained.
While health insurance costs are $ 784.94, some chains of cuffs provide their own financing so you can distribute the cost of the hearing aid over a longer period of time. For some, consumer credit by banks is an option, while others can apply for funding through vocational rehabilitation programs in the respective federal state.
Hearing aids are an investment in your quality of life and health. Even if you think that you can not afford “good” hearing aids, it is helpful to ask a lot of questions and inform yourself about non-payment devices when visiting your hearing care professional. Acousticians are used to working with people from all walks of life, and most are committed to finding a suitable solution for every budget.
When you think about buying a hearing aid, the price always plays a role. Quick come in the additional payment three-digit cost amounts together. A detailed comparison and test of different devices in everyday life, as well as a competent advice pay off. Good hearing aids are available in all price ranges, because a hearing aid is “good” when it can be adapted to its specific hearing loss and completely eliminated. All other functions are secondary and “nice to have”.
Even cash register devices, ie those hearing aids that are free of charge with the appropriate medical prescription, are state-of-the-art. They do not offer iPhone compatibility or Bluetooth capabilities, but can reduce your hearing loss comparably well.
What do hearing aids cost on average??
The best hearing aids are the ones that are the best fit for you. The price level is only a conditionally “advisable” signpost. Expensive is not good. Due to the variety of models and model variants for different hearing loss patterns, it is not possible to give you a specific price information. Therefore only price ranges or individual models can be compared.
Most of the approximately 2,000 hearing aids offered in Germany require a surcharge between 500 and 2,500 euros. These prices refer to a hearing aid or to the care of an ear. If two hearing aids are needed, you will have to pay twice as much. The prices already include initial adaptation, a repair flat rate, readjustments and cleaning at the acoustician’s.
Entry-level or front-end hearing aids allow you to easily understand one-to-one conversations in a quiet environment. Devices of the middle class (about 1.000 Euro) offer you a very good sound and a better speech recognition in noisy environments. Hearing aids of the upper class (from 2,000 euros) have automatic hearing programs, with which the hearing aid automatically selects the best setting for each situation. Hearing aids of the premium class (from 2,500 euros) are also suitable for concerts or theater performances.
Services included in the purchase price refer not only to the time immediately after the purchase, but usually to a period of several years. How these are designed in detail varies from acoustician to acoustician. You can also recognize and compare the quality of an acoustician by the scope of the included services. Go to several acousticians and explicitly ask for these services before you test a hearing aid or submit your health insurance plan.
How many or how long are readjustments free? Is a professional cleaning of the hearing aid free of charge at any time? What is included in the repair flat rate? What is the hourly rate if a repair outside the package is necessary? How much does a new adjustment of the hearing aid cost? These questions help you to visualize the differences between acoustics.
What funding is there and what pays the health insurance?
The purchase of a hearing aid can be associated with high costs. High-quality and technically advanced models cost up to 2,500 euros per device. The health insurance companies participate in these costs only with a small fixed amount. For the second hearing aid they also charge a discount of 20 percent. Since the prices for high-quality devices exceed the legal flat rate significantly, buyers must make a corresponding additional payment.
The statutory health insurance pays a uniform flat rate of at least 784.94 euros for the purchase of a new hearing aid. If two hearing aids are prescribed, the cash benefit increases 1,412.89 euros. A reimbursement by the health insurance is only possible if an ENT doctor prescribes the hearing aid and this corresponds to the minimum technical requirements. The ENT specialist performs a medical hearing test and prescribes a prescription if your hearing loss is above a certain threshold (usually 30% hearing loss). The regulation refers to hearing aids in the “general” and not to a specific model, a specific acoustician or a specific design.
With the prescription you can visit a hearing care professional of your choice. The acoustician will suggest different hearing aids, which he selects based on the clinical picture, the specific hearing loss pattern, the audiogram and their individual requirements. Acousticians are generally obliged to offer you also payment-free hearing aids. These payment-free devices are completely paid by the health insurance. As a buyer you only pay a statutory additional payment of 10 euros per device. If you decide on a higher quality hearing aid, the cash benefit will be deducted from the total price. Below you will find a list of grants from various health insurance companies including device, repair flat rate and earmold.
While many people pay for their hearing aids out of their own pocket, you should discuss all insurance options with your health insurance company. Most health insurance companies have a toll-free number that can be found on your insurance card. With the statutory subsidy, you have already refinanced part of your total cost of a new hearing aid. Ask your acoustician for cash-desk devices whose costs are completely covered by the health insurance company and which are free of charge for you.
For the lump sum of the health insurance you get usually only very simple models that cover only basic needs. However, the Federal Social Court decided in 2009 that health insurance companies have to bear the costs of a hearing aid in full, if the hearing aids available for a fixed amount are not sufficient to cover the required amount disability compensation to care. In individual cases, the health insurance can therefore be required to pay more.
Are there cheap and technically high quality hearing aids??
By a decision of the BGH is regulated by law that hearing aids, which are available free of charge, the current state of the art correspond “must”. Special comfort functions, such as a large number of different hearing programs, WLAN functions for connecting to audio devices and consumer electronics or special designs and designs are not meant here.
Cash-desk hearing aids meet basic needs and are primarily geared to reducing your hearing loss as well as high quality hearing aids. After all, the actual purpose of a hearing aid is not to connect to your TV via Bluetooth, but to effectively eliminate your hearing loss. With regard to this important criterion, cash-desk devices are technical comparably good and similarly effective like high quality expensive hearing aids.
So if it’s primarily about being able to have a conversation with another person in a quiet environment, these cheap or free models are quite helpful. People who intend to wear the hearing aid at concerts, theater visits or at work have completely different requirements that are not always covered by cash register devices. If you have a “more active” lifestyle, it makes sense to invest more money to get really good hearing aids. Comprehensive advice can not be replaced in this context.

Where can I find price lists or a price comparison for hearing aids?
You can now compare prices for individual models online. That was not always the case in the past. Acoustician the extensive price lists Provide and publish on the Internet are:
- Hörgeräte-Jahnecke e.K. – hoergeraete-jahnecke.de
- HK Hearing Aids Käfertal UG – hoergeraete-kaefertal.de
What do these price lists bring you and how can you use them to your advantage? Many acoustic chains offer you one “Best Price Guarantee” on. Your acoustician promises you that you will not get a hearing aid cheaper at any other acoustician. What at first sounds like a blank marketing slogan can save you hundreds of dollars. Audibene, Geers and Fielman offer you a best price guarantee. So you can simply print out the price lists of Jahnecke or Käfertal and, for example, Present to your Fielman consultant. Usually Fielman Undercuts Internet Price by 10% even if the original price offered by Fielman was 10% higher than the comparison offer from the internet.
“Best Price Guarantee” does not mean that an acoustician sells you hearing aids at the cheapest price, but only that he does so when you find a cheaper comparison offer and remind him of his promise. If you present a better comparison offer, the acoustician must also offer you this price because he has given you a legally binding “guarantee”. You see, you have relatively simple levers to convince your acoustician to make you a better deal. Eyewear and hearing aids are also the products with the highest retail margins. Your acoustician has “always” a scope to accommodate you.
The prices of hearing aids are very different and often not very transparent. Since hearing aids are medical devices, they may only be sold through certain distribution channels. Direct sales via the internet e.g. via Amazon or eBay is not allowed in Germany by law. However, you can get branded hearing aids through Chinese Internet platforms Alibaba.com For one tenth of the German EIA to buy. In China, there are no restrictions on the sale of medical devices over the Internet. However, they carry the risk that this is counterfeiting could and do have the technical problem that no German acoustician will adapt a hearing aid imported from China, even if it actually comes from Siemens, Phonak or Widex. Such a strategy is only successful if you have a lot of experience with Alibaba and you personally know an acoustician or are among your circle of friends.
One and the same hearing aid can cost different amounts at different acoustics. The reason: Hearing aids have to be individually adjusted and adjusted. These services are part of the purchase price and will be charged differently by acousticians. It is also immediately understandable that the price of a certain service must be different for an acoustician in Munich than for an acoustician in Erfurt. The prices for services are subject to the free market economy and are not regulated by law. Talk to different acousticians before buying a new hearing aid and get a quote for the services. Get an offer that gives you information about the expected costs outside packages and inclusive services. The cost estimates can then be compared with prices from the Internet.
You can order a hearing aid in Germany “not yet” online, but price comparisons over the Internet are very possible. Serious prices can be found on the above-mentioned websites of Jahnecke or Käfertal. When comparing different providers, you should always keep in mind that hearing aids need to be continually reviewed, adjusted, readjusted and maintained. On average, customers visit their acoustician after purchase, up to 3 times to make adjustments. Since these service costs (such as repair flat rate, readjustments and cleaning) are already included in the purchase price, you should select an acoustician that is good and easy for you to reach. What good is it for you to buy a cheap device but drive hundreds of miles to make adjustments?.
Test hearing aids before buying
Most hearing healthcare professionals are familiar with the products of different manufacturers and have the necessary customization software needed to successfully tune their equipment. When you visit a hearing care professional, discuss with him the results of your hearing test, your lifestyle, and your price expectations. Your acoustician will select the most suitable manufacturer and the best product for you.
Once a hearing care professional recommends a specific hearing aid, it takes into account a number of factors. An important criterion is the audiogram created by the ENT specialist. The most suitable hearing solution for you depends not only on the degree and type of hearing loss, but also on the following factors:
- budget
- Cosmetic requirements
- Social preferences
- Professional requirements
- Hobbies
- Physical limitations and problems with dexterity
- Personal opinion on technologies like Bluetooth
As a rule, the acoustician gives you the opportunity to test various models over a period of 14 days in everyday life. You should take this opportunity before you buy and test your favorite hearing aid intensively. Put your new hearing aid to the test in all situations that you experience frequently. Therefore, test the device while you are on the phone, in large roundabouts, at work, in the swimming pool, in one-to-one conversations, listening to music or in the cinema.
Buying a hearing aid is a time-consuming process that you should plan for several weeks. An important component here is the trial amount in everyday life. Avoid acousticians who can not test their new hearing aids for free or who are not insured during the trial period. It is important to test the hearing aid in as realistic a situation as possible, and not just in the acoustics shop.
When choosing a model, your lifestyle and preferences play a big role. During the consultation, the acoustician will therefore ask you intensively about your person. Depending on the requirements, different designs and models can be considered. Following the selection process, the hearing aids are adjusted, adjusted and tested by the acoustician. Everything fits it for sale.
What types of hearing aids are there?
All digital hearing aids include at least one microphone for receiving acoustic signals, a computer chip that amplifies and processes these signals, a speaker that sends the signal to your ear, and a battery for power.
These components are available on all hearing aids in various forms. When you consult with a hearing care professional, it will take many factors into account, provide you with the right information, and help you find the right hearing aid style for you. Hearing aids can be divided into two main groups: in-the-ear hearing aids (idO) and behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE). Within each group there are different sizes and subclasses.
The following hearing aid types are called ITE hearing aids considered.
Invisible-in-Channel (IIC) and completely in the canal (CIC hearing aids): IIC and CIC models are the smallest hearing aids you can buy right now. They are located deep in the ear canal and are suitable for correcting mild to moderate hearing loss. The size and cosmetic benefits (which are invisible to other people when worn) also depend on the size of the ear canal. Due to their small size, they are especially interesting for people who want a discreet and cosmetic solution.
In-Channel Hearing Aids (ITC): ITC models are located in the lower part of the outer auricle, making them comfortable and easy to use. Being slightly larger than IIC and CIC models, they have longer battery life, are easier to handle, and can be used for a wider range of hearing losses.
ITE hearing aidsITE models range from half shell designs (HS) that fill half of the outer ear shell to designs that fill almost the entire outer ear shell. Their size makes them interesting for people with limited finger skills, as they are easier to handle than smaller idO models. ITE hearing aids have helpful features such as directional microphones, volume controls and program buttons.
The following hearing aid types are called BTE hearing aids considered.
Mini BTE hearing aids: Behind-the-ear hearing aids are once again enjoying great popularity, thanks in part to many innovations over the last few years. BTE models are the most powerful, have the longest lifespan and are the most frequently purchased. They hide behind the outer ear and are connected to it with an earmold to guide the sound into the ear. BTE models are suitable for all types of hearing loss, have a long battery life and are easy to use. Mini BTE hearing aids, like IDO models, offer a discreet cosmetic solution, with a very thin ear tube and a small earpiece discreetly placed in the outer ear.
Receiver-in-the-ear (RITE) or Receiver-in-canal hearing aids (RIC): In RITE and RIC models, the speaker is not installed in the hearing aid but in the ear tip. This allows the speaker of the hearing aid to be positioned closer to the eardrum while the microphone and processor sit in a tiny housing behind the ear.
BTE hearing aids with earmoulds: BTE models sold with earmolds can be adapted to any type of hearing loss, from mild to severe. Its longer and largest case follows the contour behind the outer ear and generally offers more features, controls and performance than any other hearing aid.
What advantages does a hearing aid have??
The obvious advantage of a hearing aid is the improvement and restoration of hearing. This more technical step has many social side effects that lead to a strengthening of mental well-being. Hearing aid wearers can once again participate in conversations and thus decisively expand their interpersonal and family relationships. Social benefits are therefore also an increased Affiliation and self-esteem, as well as feeling integrated or not excluded. In groups one is perceived and accepted, because one can contribute to the conversation with own contributions.
Active participation in conversation leads to an improvement of cognitive functions and the ability to concentrate. Hearing aids require the human brain to process “more” information. The brain will “Trained” and claimed. Situations in which people with hearing loss could only “switch off” previously disappear completely. Particularly serious are the effects in professional life. The professional performance is not only improved by hearing aids, but also more clearly perceived by third parties. According to a study by the Better Hearing Institute, US households earn with one person who has one untreated hearing loss Has, up to $ 12,000 annually fewer. What can be deduced from this situation??
On the one hand, it means that people can not perceive or relate the occupational effects of your hearing loss. The lack of promotion or the career ladder is over, is not attributed to the hearing loss. It is obvious that people with untreated hearing loss have lower chances of advancement. Would you promote an employee to a team leader who can not properly understand his employees? No, certainly not. What else can we learn from the study of the Better Hearing Institute? Buy one Hearing aid for example. 4,000 dollars and live in the US, you have one already after a year 3-fold return on investment. If you do not see a hearing aid as a cost factor, but as an investment that will allow you to make more money, the bill is pretty simple.
Wearing a hearing aid improves your hearing and quality of life. You can return to conversations with other people and hear sounds like children‘s voices that you have not heard for years or even decades. Hearing aids improve your social and mental well-being. You improve your career opportunities and increase your sense of security. Dangerous situations, for example in traffic, can be perceived and recognized earlier and faster. This increases your independence, your independence and promotes a safe demeanor.
Hearing aid technology
Hearing aid technology continues to evolve every year and is shaped by the innovations of major manufacturers. Most manufacturers group their products by category and function, much as an automobile manufacturer classifies its vehicles.
Almost all modern hearing aids are digital and require professional customization and programming by a hearing care professional. These hearing aids offer much greater flexibility than previous analog hearing aid generations because the acoustician can adjust them to precisely amplify the frequencies affected by hearing loss.
As the technical level increases, the functions of the hearing aids become more dynamic and automated. The hearing aid can adapt itself to different listening situations and adapt quickly to different environments without the need for manual changes by the wearer. Some hearing aids already have carrier-specific features such as voice prompts at low battery levels and individually defined conditions for modifying hearing programs.
Many hearing aids manufactured today use wireless technology. This allows two hearing aids to work together as a paired system. This saves time as all settings and changes are immediately transferred to the second hearing aid. It is therefore no longer necessary to manually adjust two hearing aids separately. With the help of wireless and Bluetooth technology, it is also possible to mimic the way two properly functioning ears work with the brain to process sound signals. In addition, the wireless technology allows carriers to customize their hearing aids via an app and without having to program an acoustician.
Wireless hearing aids can also be connected to external devices such as MP3 players, TVs, computers, the iPhone and Android smartphones via Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth makes it possible to connect electronic devices to the hearing aid and to stream audio signals directly to the processor (for example for listening to music). Modern hearing aids not only help you to hear better, but also to consume media better. Some hearing aids even have smart home features that let you automate things around your home, such as the home security system, lighting, TV, washing machine or coffee machine!
Structure and functions: How do hearing aids work??
A hearing aid is a highly complex medical device that compensates for hearing loss (disability compensation) and helps people actively participate in life again. The most important types are behind-the-ear hearing aids and in-the-ear hearing aids. The technical structure is always similar. It consists of one or more microphones, a digital amplifier, a sound processor and a loudspeaker that directs the sound signals into the inner ear.
Several directional microphones ensure that the spatial perception of sound and the localization of acoustic signals are improved. The digital amplifier manipulates the acoustic signal and amplifies it in accordance with predefined hearing programs according to the needs of the user. The sound processor splits the acoustic signal into its constituent parts and processes them separately. Unimportant background noises are filtered out so easily, while the voices of conversation partners are highlighted. Modern hearing aids are equipped with a telecoil that makes telephoning easier and are equipped with Bluetooth to transmit content from a smartphone or audio device.
A hearing aid is a medical device for people with hearing loss that enables them to participate in social life. IdO hearing aids, with their unobtrusive and discreet design, have done much to stop hearing wear and tear from stigmatizing. Through ever smaller and almost invisible hearing aids, the overall care improves, as well as people opt for a hearing aid that have previously rejected this for cosmetic reasons.
Which hearing aid should I buy??
The hearing aid market is very confusing. Numerous manufacturers vie for customers with a wide range of models and designs. The question which hearing aid is best for the individual can only be answered with the help of an acoustician. An individual and detailed consultation is very important in the selection process and purchase. There are many hearing aid manufacturers offering the latest hearing aid technology. Hearing aid companies are investing heavily in research and development to bring devices to market that meet the diverse needs of people with hearing loss. They are also anxious to offer hearing aids, which take into account all budgets of the wearer and are completely taken over by the health insurance.
The most important definition when buying a hearing aid is its design. There are behind-the-ear hearing aids (BTE) and in-the-ear hearing aids (IDO). In general, the more your hearing loss turns out, the better and more recommendable are BTE devices. idO devices are almost invisible from the outside, because they sit directly in the ear canal or in the outer ear, but only work well in mild to moderate hearing loss. Which hearing aid is the best solution for a specific hearing loss is not a cosmetic decision. Certain hearing loss patterns indicate certain types of construction.
Simple models with simple technology quickly reach their limits. In quiet situations, they can usually amplify acoustic signals easily, but in group discussions, it is already difficult. The question of which hearing aid is most suitable for you always includes an analysis of the application situations and purposes. People who enjoy going to the theater or cinema have different expectations than music lovers or working people. People who work on loud machines have different needs than athletes who need a particularly durable device that works reliably even in wet and sweaty conditions.
Your hearing care professional can map these many different situations and needs by programming your own hearing programs, which are activated and used by you depending on the situation. Your acoustician also performs the initial adjustment. First-time fitting programs your hearing aid, optimizes its functions and adjusts the hearing programs. This ensures that you can use the devices optimally and that they work medically. It is important to note that there is an adjustment phase when customizing new devices. It takes some time to get used to new hearing aids, even if you’ve been wearing hearing aids for years. Wear the hearing aids as instructed by your hearing care professional and discuss problems with them.
Accessories for hearing aids
Buying your hearing aid is an important decision and a significant investment. If you have decided on the right hearing aids with the help of your hearing care professional, it is time to select the right accessories to optimally complement your hearing aid.
Some of the accessories needed to care for your hearing aids are provided by your hearing care professional as part of the purchase. Others must be purchased separately.
batteries
All hearing aids need a power source to work. If your hearing aid is not equipped with a rechargeable battery, you will need disposable batteries.
Hearing aid batteries are available in four different sizes. From small to large, these are 10, 312, 13, and 675. Your hearing aids use one of these types of batteries, and your hearing care professional usually provides you with a small number of batteries. All hearing aid batteries use a standardized color coding system that ensures that you are using the correct type of battery in your hearing aid.
Always carry spare batteries with you, so that you are not disturbed in your daily routine and your hearing aids work without interruption. Check with your acoustician for battery clubs or manufacturer programs that make it easier and cheaper to buy batteries. Batteries and cleaning equipment are indispensable for every hearing aid wearer. With this optional accessory, you can simplify the maintenance of your devices or get more from them.
Hearing aid dehumidifier
If you sweat profusely, live in a humid climate or engage in many outdoor activities that expose your hearing aid to harmful moisture, a dehumidifier is very helpful.
Dehumidifiers use a drying tablet to remove moisture overnight. The desiccant will last for a long time if reactivated on a regular basis.
Some drying tablets are used in a soft bag that needs to be warmed up in the microwave for about 1 minute. Others are housed in a small metal box which has to be placed in a 250 ° oven for about 30 minutes. In addition to classic dehumidifiers, there is electronic Dry & Store dehumidifiers that use UV light to dry and disinfect the hearing aids overnight. These are available online at Amazon and eBay or through your hearing care professional.
Streamer for Bluetooth hearing aids
Most advanced hearing aids are already equipped with Bluetooth, allowing them to connect wirelessly to various devices, such as mobile phones, MP3 players and televisions.
If you do not have a “Made for iPhone” hearing aid, you will need an external accessory to use the Bluetooth feature of your hearing aid. These devices, often referred to as streamers, are designed specifically for your specific hearing instrument. If you buy a new hearing aid in several years, you probably can not use the streamer with your new device.
Assistive accessories
Assistive devices such as FM systems can significantly improve the performance of your hearing aid in very specific listening environments such as a classroom, lecture halls, music hall or theater. With some additional devices, you can facilitate conversations over your landline phone, with others you can wake up in the morning or be notified when someone is at your doorstep.
Other Accessories
There are many accessories for hearing aids that are tailored to specific lifestyles. If you enjoy golfing, cycling or running, sweatbands prevent moisture from affecting your sensitive hearing aid. With the help of clips, you can participate in sports activities and prevent your hearing aids from falling out. With other accessories such as colorful stickers, wearing hearing aids can be more fun, whether you’re a fashion conscious adult or a kid who wants to express his individuality.
If you have a hearing loss, the first step is finding the right treatment by an ENT specialist and hearing care professional. Consult your acoustician before buying any accessories to make sure it works well with your hearing aids.
The first hearing aid – tips for care
The care of a hearing aid is enormously important. With a few simple tips it is possible to extend the life and to ensure reliability and hygiene. While many hearing care professionals offer hearing aids free of charge, it can be a good habit to learn the daily maintenance and cleaning yourself to protect your investment.
With proper care, hearing aids will last 4-6 years and work reliably. Especially when buying for the first time, it is advisable to take some tips into account so that you can benefit from your investment for a longer time.
The most important tips for care:
- The batteries should be checked and replaced regularly.
- If the hearing aid is not in use, it should be switched off.
- The batteries should be removed overnight for ventilation.
- When changing the batteries, the contact surfaces should be cleaned with a cotton swab.
- The hearing aid should be cleaned daily from cerumen (earwax).
- When cleaning, use a soft cloth and a cleaning brush.
- The filters of the hearing aid should be checked and changed regularly.
- You should have a professional cleaning done by the acoustician four times a year
- In sports, you should use a sweatband or remove your equipment.
- The hearing aid should be protected against the effects of the weather and should not come into contact with water.
- When washing hair, when using hair wax or hair spray you should remove your hearing aids.
Hearing aids are not a “closed system” and are technically designed to be “open” so that acoustic signals can enter the device. The “open” design, the durability and durability – despite intensive care – always limited. Depending on the model and personal care, hearing aids last between four and six years on average. Particularly susceptible to wear and dirt ITE models, which lie directly in the auditory canal. They have, in comparison, despite high prices, the lowest lifetime.
How can I clean my hearing aids??
Use a dry cloth daily to remove dust, earwax or moisture from your hearing aids. Daily cleaning and examining of your equipment and auditing will help you to know the status of your hearing aids. They also find out when they need help from a hearing care professional or have their hearing aids repaired.
Occasionally your hearing aid needs to be repaired by the manufacturer. Many defects or hearing aid problems can be easily resolved at home or with the help of your acoustician. Signs that you need a repair are:
- Static noise, background noise or increased feedback
- Intermittent sounds
- Distortions of acoustic signals
- Holes or cracks in the shell of an IdO model
- Fast battery discharges
- Defective or missing components on the body of the hearing aid
If your acoustician can not solve the problem, you must return your hearing aid to the manufacturer for repair. These types of repairs are often covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Your hearing care professional can tell you the warranty status and any costs.
Tools for cleaning
Regular cleaning and regular maintenance by your hearing care professional ensures that your hearing aids work reliably and last a long time. Below is a listing of the most commonly used daily cleaning tools.
- Cleaning brush: The soft brush end cleans the body, faceplate or sound port of a hearing aid. Some cleaning brushes also have a magnetic battery removal tool.
- Wax pick or wax loop: This tool is designed to help remove cerumen (earwax) from hoses and earmolds, as well as other debris safely from your hearing aid and from holes.
- Multi Tools: These all-in-one tools are versatile, with both a cleaning brush and a wire loop for thorough cleaning.
- Hearing Aids cases: Most hearing care professionals offer a hearing aid cover so you can carry it safely and store it at night when not in use.
