Frequently asked questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions.

Battery life varies based on the battery size as well as active features being used throughout the day, such as wireless streaming, and how often some features need to engage and disengage based on your environment. A lot of our hearing aids feature rechargeable batteries, which is extremely convenient!

Always take your hearing aids out before having a shower, bath, or swimming, as moisture can damage the electronic components in your hearing aid. Nevertheless, you can keep hearing aids on during sports activities and home fitness. Your hearing specialist will advise you to remove the battery overnight, leaving the battery compartment open.
A dehumidifier should be used regularly.

Regular cleaning and maintenance can extend the life of your hearing aids, ensuring you capture all the sounds of life every single day. You will need to ensure your hearing aids are clean and free of earwax at all times. If you are cleaning your hearing aids, use a dry, soft cloth. You can read our step-by-step guides here.
