Before You Start

Before cleaning, ensure the hearing aids are turned off and, if applicable, removed from the ears. Work in a well-lit area and avoid harsh solvents. Do not use heat sources or hair dryers to dry devices. If the devices are moisture-fed or have excessive moisture inside, let them air-dry completely before reuse. Keep cleaning solutions away from the microphone and speaker openings to prevent damage.

Step-By-Step: How To Clean Jabra Hearing Aids

<bPower down the devices and remove any batteries if possible to prevent short circuits during cleaning.
<bGently brush the surfaces with the cleaning brush from the kit to dislodge wax and debris from the earpiece, ventilation ports, and controls.
<bApply wax remover sparingly to the built-in tool or cotton swab, then carefully clean the wax-prone areas without pressing into delicate openings.
<bWipe exterior surfaces with an alcohol-free cleaning wipe to remove oils and residue. Follow with a microfiber cloth for a dry, polished finish.
<bInspect the microphone and receiver for any blockage. If debris is present, use a dry cleaning tool or the kit’s brush to clear it from a safe distance.
<bUse the ultrasonic cleaner (optional) for a longer, deeper clean. Place the hearing aids in a dedicated, water-safe tray with the appropriate solution and run a brief cycle as instructed by the cleaner’s manual.
<bRinse and air-dry if the ultrasonic cycle was used. Let the devices dry completely in a dust-free area before reassembly or insertion.
<bReassemble and test once fully dry. Verify the volume, balance, and feedback suppression to ensure normal operation.
<bStore properly in a protective case when not in use to minimize wax buildup and moisture exposure.
<bSet a regular cleaning schedule—daily quick wipe-downs plus weekly deeper cleanings help maintain performance and comfort.
<bDocument any persistent issues such as unusual sounds or reduced amplification and consult a professional if needed.
