Interton hearing aid cleaning & care
Regular Interton hearing aid cleaning is important to keep your hearing aids sounding clear, feeling comfortable and working reliably. Interton hearing aids are worn for many hours every day and come into contact with moisture, earwax, skin oils, dust and dirt. If this build-up is not removed, it can affect microphone openings, domes, receivers, earmoulds or wax filters.
On this page, you will find suitable products for Interton maintenance, cleaning and care. These include cleaning brushes, cleaning cups, cleaning tablets, cleaning spray, electronic drying boxes and suitable replacement parts. Interton wax filters are especially important for regular care, as they protect the receiver from earwax and directly affect sound and everyday use.
How to clean Interton hearing aids
When cleaning Interton hearing aids, you should always work carefully and use only suitable care products. Electronic components must not be rinsed with water, and cleaning spray or moisture should not enter microphone openings, receivers, charging contacts or battery compartments. The purpose of cleaning is to remove dirt, earwax and moisture without damaging sensitive components.
Wipe your Interton hearing aids after wearing them with a dry, soft cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check microphone openings, domes, receivers, earmoulds and visible openings. If the sound becomes duller, weaker or unclear, first check whether the wax filter, dome or sound outlet is blocked.
Interton and ReSound care products
Interton belongs to the GN Group, which also includes ReSound and Beltone. This means there can be overlap between certain care products, cleaning tools and accessory systems. For users, this can be helpful if a product is not listed only under Interton, but also appears in connection with ReSound. You can therefore also view the ReSound maintenance category when looking for suitable cleaning or care products.
However, compatibility should still always be checked for the exact Interton model and replacement part. A shared manufacturer group does not mean that every ReSound accessory automatically fits every Interton hearing aid. Especially with wax filters, domes, receivers and chargers, the model, connection and hearing aid design must match.
Interton cleaning products overview
An Interton cleaning kit can be useful if you want to combine several care products for daily and weekly cleaning in one solution. Depending on the version, a cleaning kit may include a cleaning brush, cleaning cup, cleaning tablets, cleaning spray, drying capsules, electronic drying boxes or other care aids. Which products you need depends on your Interton model, hearing aid design and the replacement parts used.
Cleaning brush
A cleaning brush helps carefully remove dry residue from microphone openings, domes, earmoulds and outer areas. It is especially useful when earwax or dirt collects around small openings. The brush should be used without pressure to avoid damaging sensitive components.
If a part is heavily soiled, hard, discoloured or damaged, replacement is often more suitable than repeated cleaning. If the sound becomes dull or weaker, always check the wax filter, dome and receiver opening as well.
Cleaning cup and cleaning tablets
A cleaning cup combined with cleaning tablets is suitable for certain separate, non-electronic parts such as earmoulds or tubes. Electronic Interton hearing aids themselves must not be placed in liquid or rinsed with water.
After cleaning, all parts should be completely dry before they are connected to the hearing aid again. This helps prevent moisture from reaching sensitive areas. Especially with custom earmoulds or removable tubes, a cleaning cup can be a practical addition to daily care.
Cleaning spray
Cleaning spray is suitable for external cleaning of hearing aids, earmoulds and accessories. It helps remove dirt, earwax, skin oils and residue from surfaces. Always apply the spray to a soft cloth or suitable brush and clean the outer surfaces with it.
Do not spray cleaning spray directly into microphone openings, receivers, charging contacts or battery compartments. Cleaning spray is a useful addition to daily care, but it does not replace changing wax filters, domes or other wearing parts.
PerfectDry Lux
PerfectDry Lux is an electronic drying box for hearing aids and earmoulds. It supports regular drying and helps reduce moisture in the hearing aids. Depending on your daily use, an electronic drying box can be especially useful if your Interton hearing aids are often exposed to moisture.
PerfectDry Lux does not replace manual cleaning of domes, wax filters, earmoulds or visible openings. Before drying, visible dirt, skin oils and moisture should be removed from the outer surfaces. Drying supports Interton hearing aid care by reducing moisture and protecting the devices after external cleaning.
Interton accessories for care and maintenance
In addition to cleaning products, replacement parts are also part of Interton care. Interton wax filters protect the receiver from earwax and should be replaced when the sound becomes dull, weaker or unusual. Domes, receivers, earmoulds, chargers and other Interton accessories can also be important for daily use.
Always make sure that all accessories match your exact Interton model. Similar-looking domes, filters, receivers or chargers are not automatically compatible. Especially with older Interton hearing aids, compatibility should be checked before purchase.
FAQ about Interton hearing aid cleaning
How often should Interton hearing aids be cleaned?
Interton hearing aids should be cleaned briefly every day. Wipe the devices after wearing them with a soft, dry cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check domes, earmoulds, receivers, wax filters and visible openings regularly. If you produce a lot of earwax, experience moisture issues or notice changes in sound, more frequent cleaning or earlier replacement of individual parts may be necessary.
Do ReSound care products also fit Interton hearing aids?
Interton and ReSound both belong to the GN Group, so certain care products and cleaning solutions may be similar or shared. Compatibility should still always be checked for the exact Interton model. Especially with wax filters, domes, receivers and chargers, it is important to choose by hearing aid design and connection, not only by brand.
What should you do if an Interton hearing aid sounds muffled?
If an Interton hearing aid sounds muffled or weaker, first check the dome, wax filter, receiver opening and visible openings. A change in sound is often caused by earwax, moisture or a worn replacement part. Clean the outer surfaces carefully and replace filters or domes if they are visibly dirty, blocked or damaged.
