Dr Cliff I’ve had 3 hearing aides so far, and my audiologist have never really shown me how to really clean my hearing devices. They with give you your new hearing aids and say here’s everything to clean them with. The little cloth and the little soft bristle brush. Then they’ll connect my hearing aids to my smart phone, but that’s as far as it go. They’ll then say see you in 6 months to a year. Your the first person that has had step by step instructions on what to do and how to do it right. A big thank you so much 😊.
THANK YOU!! I've been deaf for over 40 years. finally got 2 Phonak hearing aids 2 weeks ago. I still can't get over how deaf I am and how any years I went with out hearing. Thank you for the detailed cleaning video. I had no idea how to clean them or how often. THANK YOU!!🩷
I also propose my patients the same recommandation, plus I also recommend my patients to use in a daily way a drying box against moisture. And Ear Gear is propose against sweat, dirt and wind noise.
Awesome. Thank you. One question: how often should I replace the ear wax filter. Most cleaning should be every 1-2 weeks, but not sure if also meant the same for the wax filter. Thanks! Toney
When you remove the old wax trap, should you insert anything into the hearing aid to get the wax out before putting the new wax trap in? I’ve never seen any wax attached to the old trap when removing it, so wondering if there’s an extra step that I’m missing.
I clean many hearing aids at my job. I have seen wax make its way beneath the wax trap. It's all very small, so a magnifier may help. I use a pin to gently work out any debris I see before installing the new wax trap. Often, though, the wax trap appears totally clear and any buildup is limited to the domes or microphone ports.
I use audio wipes to clean the ear mold and body, a Jodi vac for the vents and wax traps (rarely replace them) and finally a Dry&Store to dry and disinfect overnight. I should check the mics more often. Just replaced the dry&store for a Redux Home drying system, only use it once a week as recommended by manufacturer.
always enjoyed your videos I always learn from them and sometimes I revisit some of your videos just to remind myself what the content was in the the video
My mothers audiologist never told her about all this. SHe has that brush, but no detailed information like you're providing. I'm seriously pissed right now... and glad that I found your video. I guess I'll be visitng the doctor with her next appointment.. So, those rubber pieces come right off and you can easily clean inside? What is the MOST important part to clean? Is there an order? from most important to least? Thank you kindly. I subscribed! :)
I also have the tail that helps hold the receiver in the ear. I find that the sleeve for it that slides on the receiver gets dirty. I slide it off to clean it. Biggest problem is making sure I get it back on correctly.😁 Glad I don't produce much ear wax.
Still looking for that cleaning brush that woulkd work with my Signia AX mold air canal. Any ideas? String doesn't seem to do a good job at getting whole area good.
Can you use Barbicide Disinfectant to disinfect the ear domes? My hearing aids seem to make my ears sweat, mostly my right ear. Also there is a little crusting on the outside of the ear.
I have a mastoid ear mold that gets liquid from my ear into the tube that goes to the actual hearing aid. How do I get that liquid out? My hot box does not do the trick. I am unable to pull the tube apart at the junction (which would make it easier to clean). Can you make an updated video about how to clean mastoid earplugs?
The information content of this channel is useful, even interesting. I can't help but notice, though, that the request for a Like should be done at the end of a video, not at the beginning prior to the viewer watching it.
This makes sense logically, since the ask would come after showing the value of the content, but too many people drop off the video to make that worth it. So instead he's asking for support for the channel broadly, not an assumption of the value of this video. This way people who already know the value of the channel actually get the reminder, so it works. I hope that makes sense!
New hearing aids are so small which is good in one respect but that makes it hard to manipulate to clean adequately. On my Jabra the cup around the rIc is not removable and I can't turn it inside out to brush it properly. I guess I just have to do my best between visits. Wish there was an ultra sonic cleaner for HAs.
Yes nearly all hearing Aides both analog and digital and computer hearing Aides have 1 to 6 microphones for one hearing aide . Some Behind the Ears hearing Aides have 1 microphone to 6 microphones . And some Behind the Ears hearing Aides have ears molds have a Power Microphone . And some In the Ears hearing Aides have 1 to 2 microphones and some Hearing Aides that goes deeper Inner Ears hearing Aides are called The Invisible hearing Aides have 1 microphone . And I don't know anything about cochlear Ears Surgery hearing Aides .
You have to call or go live in person Hearing Aides dealership Audiologist AuD Professional Hearing Aides Center wherever you got your own hearing Aides from and asked them . And asked Professional Hearing Aides AuD Audiologist Dr.Cliff . I been wearing hearing Aides since 5 years old in 1970s born premature baby 3 months too early 75% deaf in both ears . My first hearing aide was a small spy radio looking hearing aide with a 1 AAA battery powered hearing Aide with one corded ear plugs and the hearing aide box was a size 2" inches square by 2" square box without any speaker built-in ,it only has adjustable turning thumb knob power on and Volume control . But better than a GIANT Longhorn Horn 📯 connect to my ears sticking out LOL 😂😆 .
I've just started using a hearing side. I love it because it cancels out the real loud noises and I no longer get migraines or have to use my construction head gear when I travel. My supplier did not take the time to show me how to clean it and I've already gone back because I thought it was broken. It's sad to say I've learned more through this video than the person who gave me the hearing side. I'm still not completely use to putting it on correctly.
Your own Professional Hearing Aides dealership Audiologist AuD should have some in you called them wherever you got your own hearing Aides from . Unless you got it online or mailed . Professional E.N.T. = Ears Nose Throat doctors and nurses Center probably can order it for you or the Deaf School . Or the most Professional Hearing Aides AuD Audiologist Dr. Cliff can recommend whatever you want .
My Oticon hearing aides came with a round case and the brush was in there. The brush has a cover/tube over it so you need to pull the cover off from one end. Hope this helps.
just wish Dr Cliff wold cut back on the hand motions. Also, slow down a bit, with talk. I have hearing difficulty in understanding fast talkers. (Info is very good though.
I have Signia Cros and Go AXaids. I don't like the strings that I come across to clean out the tube. Do you know of a brush that is long enough and cab used to clean out that tube?
My wife creats an excessive amount of ear wax, and has profound hearing loss. I can't find an airvent,and there's no rubber dome to remove. Replacing the wax trap was the first thing I tried. You need a special tool, the receiver looks like it is inside the mold itself. I tried to fix it myself, she ended up needing a new ear mold. The audiologist she went to retired, and closed his office. We went to several audiologists, non of them will even attempt to clean or repair them. We can't afford the ~$4,000 to replace them, they're rechargeable. What's going on? HELP!
What about the outside of the long tube and the outside of the dome? I generally take a tissue paper and clean it, however I'm afraid that the ear oil still remains on both. That's a problem because my ears are itchy
My father(60) had a problem of water flow from the ears for a long but he just used to take home remedies to heal that. But today when he started feeling pain inside his ears we took him to the doctor, he said that there is a damage in the bones of his ears belive me sir this news left us with deep sorrow my mother got extremely emotional.😭 Sir, Does this bone break problem have any solution? Please help me out sir! It would be a great help.🙏

How often to do this every 2-3 weeks or when you start having trouble
Excellent video and thank you Sir for the vital information.

Dr Cliff do you have a recommendation of a hearing aid for moderate to severe hearing loss?
With the new Phonak Lumity do you still need to put then in dehumidifier and ultra violet light
Me podrías indicar algún aspirador de micrófonos?
Gracias
Great video! Could you please do a video that shows how to clean Starkey Evolv RIC microphones? I don't see any openings.
I agree.
Could I send my Oticon aids directly to Oticon company for repair ?
I also have the tail that helps hold the receiver in the ear. I find that the sleeve for it that slides on the receiver gets dirty. I slide it off to clean it. Biggest problem is making sure I get it back on correctly.😁 Glad I don't produce much ear wax.

Can I use perfect dry lux to remove the moisture from my rechargeable hearing aids?
Why aren't the question answered?
@@Carylina1 Agree!
I have a Unitron Moxi Fit and I do not see any microphone ports. Do all hearing aids have microphone ports?

And some Bluetooth Earbuds and Earphones don't have any microphone and some do and some large headphones do and don't have any microphone .
I found the manual online for my hearing aids and it shows the location of 2 microphone ports
My biggest problem is moisture, whether rain or sweat. How can I get rid of the beeps and other squawks associated with moisture in the hearing aid?
Thank you best best video ❤❤❤❤
Please make a video how to clean up in the ear HA , and also moisture remove technical
This should have subtitles (CC)!

Where can I buy the small brush or nano cleaner? This did not come with my oticon hearing aid.

@@beckyferris2390 Thanks. Ordered some things from amazon - finger's crossed.

just wish Dr Cliff wold cut back on the hand motions. Also, slow down a bit, with talk. I have hearing difficulty in understanding fast talkers. (Info is very good though.
I use close captioning, it helps.
Change playback speed to .75x
I have Signia Cros and Go AXaids. I don't like the strings that I come across to clean out the tube. Do you know of a brush that is long enough and cab used to clean out that tube?
Please help researchers to develop some medicines , we need to resolve problem from root .
I am disappointed that the cleaning of moulded ear pieces was noy included. These are the most difficult

How the Battery channel that the battery goes inside of has like corrosion or just like rust not sure if that’s what it is
Hearing aids are extremely expensive.
Who has phonak hearing aids
Why do you need 8 minutes to show this?
Shut up and get to the answer!!!! You are way too long winded!!!!
The wax trap won’t come out of my right hearing aid. I can’t hear out of my right hearing aid. I HATE Hearing Aids
Can I use perfect dry lux to remove the moisture from my rechargeable hearing aids?
