It’s understandable to feel annoyed if your hearing aids frequently fall out or become dislodged. This often happens because of poor fit, moisture and sweat or movement. Here are some tips and tricks to make sure your devices stay remain in your ears comfortably.
Make Sure They’re In Properly
It’s important to make sure you’re wearing your left hearing aid in your left ear and your right hearing aid in your right ear.
If your hearing aids are smaller, they should sit flush with your ear canal. If they are larger, they should sit flush with your earlobe.
Use Accessories
Hearing aid clips and retention cords can prevent your hearing aids from hitting the ground if they fall out of your ears.
Keep Them Clean
Earwax buildup can cause hearing aids to become dislodged, so it’s important to clean them on a regular basis.
Limit Moisture Exposure
Moisture can cause your hearing aids to fall out of place. Be sure to dry them off after being caught in rainy weather or sweating while working out.
See an Audiologist
An audiologist can ensure that your hearing aids are an ideal fit for your ears so that they stay in place without issue. This will help you have the best experience with your devices so you can stay connected to the world around you.
