Benefits of hearing aid maintenance
Many users think that hearing aid maintenance is a job for experts, when in reality most of the maintenance can be done at home. The advantages of a self-maintained hearing aid are:
- Better sound quality and functionality
- Reduced risk of technical failures
- Longer life for your device
- Fewer repair visits and lower maintenance costs
If you have a popular Phonak hearing aid, Oticon hearing aid, Resound hearing aid or any other of the most typical hearing aid models, the availability of spare parts and easy interchangeability make maintenance hassle-free.
How often should my hearing aid be serviced?
Daily and weekly care of your hearing aid is an important part of maintaining it. On a daily basis, it is a good idea to wipe the device with a dry, lint-free cloth and check that there is no wax or moisture in the sound canal. Weekly cleaning of the wax filter and microphone cover is recommended. The wax filters, plugs, silicone parts and filters of hearing aids are wearing parts that should be replaced regularly. If you have a Phonak or Signia hearing aid, for example, you should check the manufacturer's recommendations for replacement intervals.
Most common parts to be replaced
Parts that are usually replaced during hearing aid maintenance include:
- Wax filters
- Air hoses (especially for ear-mounted models)
- Plugs (silicone plugs)
- Microphone filters
- Batteries or rechargeable batteries
- Receivers and hoses
- Earrings
Every hearing aid requires slightly different maintenance and parts, so identifying the right spare parts is important.
Phonak hearing aid maintenance and spare parts
Phonak hearing aid is one of the world's most popular and respected hearing aids, and for good reason. Swiss-made Phonak offers users exceptional sound clarity, intelligent hearing solutions and a wide range of connectivity options. As a premium hearing aid, quality is also a priority when it comes to maintenance and spare parts.
A Phonak hearing aid works best when its essential parts are kept clean and in good condition. The device's sensitivity to sound generation means that even a small blockage in a wax filter, for example, can significantly degrade the hearing experience.
Although most Phonak hearing aid models are protected against splash water and dust (IP68 rating), moisture is still one of the most common causes of hearing aid malfunction. Sweat, rain or exposure to humid air can affect the electronics. We recommend using drying box or drying capsules, which wick moisture away from the hearing aid during the night. This simple measure can prevent significant failures and prolong the life of your hearing aid.
Kuuloasi.fi offers a comprehensive range of spare parts suitable for Phonak hearing aids that allow you to maintain the functionality of your device easily at home, without expensive service visits. All spare parts are compatible with the most common Phonak hearing aid models, including the Audéo, Naída and Virto series.
Oticon hearing aid spare parts and maintenance
Oticon hearing aids is one of the smartest and most user-friendly options on the market. Oticon hearing aids offer natural, clear sound quality and an easy-to-use design to suit a wide range of needs. To maintain its top performance, regular maintenance and replacement of spare parts is key.
Most Oticon hearing aid models use ProWax MiniFit and ProWax Nano -wax filters to prevent earwax and moisture from entering the receiver. As with other models, a clogged Oticon hearing aid filter can cause sound to be muffled or completely blocked. Filters should be replaced every four weeks or so, or as soon as sound quality deteriorates.
Oticon hearing aids are also available:
- Different sizes of tips, which affect fit and sound quality
- Hoses and hose adapters for ear-mounted models

Where to store the hearing aid and spare parts?

Use sealed enclosures with dehumidifiers, especially if you live in a humid climate or move around a lot outdoors. Each model of hearing aid has its own spare parts - never use the wrong filter or plug, as this can affect the performance or sound quality of the device.
