How to Clean Beltone Hearing Aids

Hearing aids are sophisticated electronic devices that sit in your hot, humid, oily, waxy ears for up to 16 hours each day, seven days a week. They get exposed to rain, snow, perspiration, dust, pollen, high humidity, frigid cold and other conditions in which people around the world live.

So it is important that you clean your hearing aids on a daily basis, even if they don't look dirty. They'll work better and last longer if you take good care of them.
