Hearing Aid Cleaning & Maintenance
Keep your hearing aids functioning as expected
Hearing aids are complex biomedical devices with small and delicate electronic components. They are technological marvels, but – as with all modern technology – they require proper maintenance to perform as expected.
Acoustic Audiology helps you clean and maintain your instruments, and we can also diagnose and repair your hearing aids
When to service your hearing aids
During your initial hearing aid fitting and follow-up appointments, we will outline how to maintain your devices according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Your devices may require servicing if you experience any of these problems:
- Little or no volume
- Buzzing or static
- Muffled sounds
- Excessive whistling and feedback

What to expect
Our professional cleaning helps to protect your investment. Bring your hearing aids to Acoustic Audiology for a thorough cleaning, and we will suggest the routine and tools to keep your devices in optimal shape at home.
Hearing aid vacuuming
Acoustic Audiology has a specially calibrated vacuum that allows us to remove debris and build up from your hearing aid’s microphones, receiver (speaker) and vents.
Negative pressure chamber
Hearing aids sit in a dark, damp environment all day – your ear! Electronics and moisture are a recipe for disaster. Luckily, modern hearing aids have a high rating against moisture. Moisture can still slowly build up, leading to corrosion and hearing aid failure. Our negative pressure chamber is designed to draw moisture out of your hearing aids, lengthening their life.
Cleaning supplies and accessories
The two most common causes of hearing aid repair are earwax and moisture. Using a hearing aid dryer every night is a simple way for you to reduce the likelihood of moisture damage. This is particularly important for people who are more prone to sweating and those who spend a lot of time outdoors.
We carry both passive and active dryers that can both dry and disinfect your hearing aids
Why Acoustic Audiology for your hearing aid maintenance
If your hearing aids are not functioning as you expect them to, this is a barrier to achieving the outcomes of your devices. Acoustic Audiology helps you clean, maintain and troubleshoot any issues to ensure your hearing aids are contributing to a comfortable and better experience.
