In times of uncertainty you will need good hearing to manage the situation. Staying calm, thinking clearly and making good decisions are all essential to getting through any crisis. Difficult times ahead around the world doesn’t mean life has to get even more difficult for people with hearing loss. The first step is to remain physically and mentally calm and healthy. If you are wearing a hearing aid then maintaining your hearing aid during turbulent times is essential for this. Here are some tips for maintaining your hearing aids and good hearing during self-isolation.

Hearing aid care during self-isolation

1. Avoid moisture

This is easily done by storing your hearing aid in a dry place. Although some of the latest hearing aids are water proof we recommend that you still remove them when showering. If they do come in contact with water, dry them immediately with a towel

2. Change hearing aid batteries often

Hearing aid batteries can cause damage to your devices if left in for a long time. Make sure that you have enough batteries in stock but don’t panic buy them

3. Always handle with care

Although hearing devices are far more durable than they once were, they still should be handled with care. When changing the batteries or cleaning them, set them on a soft surface such as a towel

4. Schedule routine cleanings

While cleaning and taking care of your devices at home can greatly improve the life of your hearing aids, you can still bring them in to be properly cared for by a professional like Clarisound

Good hearing during self-isolation

Stuck at home all day, alone, or with your loved ones means that you are forced to change most aspects of your daily routine and life in general. Good hearing during self-isolation improves your quality of life during self-isolation by;

• Talking with your family and friends, at a social distance or through your handphone
• Listening to music calms your central nervous system
• Listening the news updates on television or social media
• Watching movies or TV series that you have never quite gotten around to but now have time to
