Sonic hearing aid cleaning & care
Regular hearing aid cleaning is important to keep your Sonic hearing aids sounding clear, feeling comfortable and working reliably. Sonic 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 hearing aid maintenance, cleaning and care. These include cleaning spray, Cleaning cup, drying cup, ear spray and a cleaning brush. These products support daily care and help maintain stable sound quality, comfort and hygiene.
How to clean Sonic hearing aids
When cleaning Sonic 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.
It is generally recommended to clean hearing aids and earmoulds daily with a soft, dry cloth. Your hands should be clean and dry, and cleaning should preferably be done over a soft surface.
Cleaning Sonic hearing aids
For Sonic hearing aids, pay particular attention to receivers, domes, earmoulds and wax filters. Many modern hearing aids use RITE or in-the-ear designs, where the sound outlet sits especially close to earwax. This means filters, domes or openings can become dirty more quickly and affect the sound.
After wearing your hearing aids, check whether the dome is visibly dirty, loose, discoloured or hardened. Also check the wax filter if the sound becomes duller, weaker or unclear. In many cases, a change in sound is not caused by the hearing aid itself, but by a blocked filter, dirty earmould or worn dome.
Daily cleaning
Wipe your Sonic hearing aids after wearing them with a dry, soft cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check microphone openings, domes, earmoulds, receivers and visible openings. With rechargeable hearing aids, the devices should be externally dry and clean before they are placed in the charger.
Weekly check
Check hard-to-reach areas once a week. These include microphone openings, domes, earmoulds, receivers, wax filters, battery compartments or charging areas. A cleaning brush can help remove dry residue carefully. If a part is damaged, discoloured, hardened or heavily soiled, replacement is often more suitable than repeated cleaning.
Cleaning products overview
A hearing aid cleaning kit can be useful if you want to combine several care products for daily and weekly cleaning in one solution. Which products you need depends on your hearing aid model, hearing aid design and the replacement parts used.
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. The spray should be used carefully: apply it 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 especially useful if you want more thorough surface care.
Cleaning brush
A cleaning brush helps carefully remove dry residue from microphone openings, domes, earmoulds and outer areas. It supports detailed cleaning of small openings and delicate surfaces.
The brush should be used gently without pressure. If a part is heavily soiled, hardened or damaged, replacement is often more suitable than repeated cleaning.
Cleaning cup
A Cleaning cup is suitable for certain separate, non-electronic parts such as earmoulds or tubes. It should not be used for electronic hearing aids themselves. Electronic components, receivers, charging contacts and battery compartments should never be placed in cleaning solution 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.
Drying cup
Moisture can affect the performance and reliability of hearing aids. A drying cup helps reduce moisture, especially during heavy sweating, humid weather, travel or long daily wear.
Drying solutions are a useful addition to external cleaning, but they do not replace manual checks of domes, wax filters, earmoulds or visible openings.
Ear spray
Ear spray supports ear hygiene by helping keep the ear canal cleaner and reducing excess earwax build-up. Cleaner ears can help hearing aids perform more consistently and reduce the risk of blocked sound outlets or wax filters.
Ear spray should be used according to the product instructions and is intended for ear care, not for direct application on the hearing aid itself.
Accessories for care and maintenance
In addition to cleaning products, replacement parts and chargers are also part of hearing aid care. Wax filters protect the receiver from earwax and should be replaced when the sound becomes dull, weaker or unusual. Domes support fit, comfort and sound transmission in the ear. They should be replaced if they become hard, discoloured, blocked, loose or uncomfortable.
Chargers can also be part of your daily routine, especially if you use rechargeable hearing aids. It is important that all accessories match your exact hearing aid model.
FAQ about hearing aid cleaning
How often should Sonic hearing aids be cleaned?
Sonic hearing aids should be cleaned briefly every day. Wipe the devices and earmoulds after wearing them with a soft, dry cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check domes, earmoulds, receivers, wax filters and visible openings regularly.
How do you clean Sonic hearing aids?
Sonic hearing aids should be cleaned externally with a soft cloth or suitable cleaning products. Check domes, receivers, earmoulds and wax filters especially carefully, as these parts come into direct contact with earwax and moisture. Do not spray liquid directly onto the hearing aid.
What is a drying cup used for?
A drying cup helps reduce moisture in hearing aids during storage. It is especially useful during humid weather, travel, sweating or long daily wear.
