Expert Insights, Research & Safety Information
Audiology research consistently highlights that proper accessory use can significantly improve hearing aid performance. Wax guards
alone can reduce sound distortion by up to 60% when replaced regularly. Moisture is a leading cause of device failure, making drying
kits and dehumidifying cases essential for long-term reliability. Clinical audiologists also advise that poorly fitted domes or
incorrect tubing can reduce amplification accuracy, emphasising the value of correct sizing and regular replacement.
Technological advancements such as Bluetooth streamers and directional microphones support better speech recognition in noisy
environments. These upgrades are particularly recommended for users with moderate to severe hearing loss who struggle with clarity
in group settings or public spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should hearing aid domes be replaced?
Most audiologists recommend replacing domes every 2–4 weeks or sooner if they show signs of wear, discolouration or discomfort.
Do wax guards really make a difference?
Yes—wax guards prevent debris from entering the speaker, which protects sound clarity and reduces the risk of device failure.
Can moisture damage my hearing aids?
Moisture is one of the most common causes of malfunction. Using drying cases or dehumidifiers helps extend device life.
Are hearing aid accessories universal?
Some are universal, such as cleaning tools, but domes, tubing and filters are usually brand-specific. Check compatibility before buying.
How long do hearing aid batteries last?
Battery life varies depending on size and usage. Disposable zinc-air batteries typically last 3–14 days, while rechargeable models
can last a full day per charge.
Should I clean my hearing aids every day?
Daily cleaning is recommended to maintain sound quality and prevent wax build-up, especially for in-ear models.
Are Bluetooth hearing aid accessories worth it?
Yes, especially for users who frequently use smartphones, TV audio or need clearer speech in noisy settings.
Do children need specific hearing aid accessories?
Children often benefit from retention clips, smaller domes and moisture-resistant storage to protect devices during active play.
Why is tubing replacement important?
Tubing can harden or crack over time, reducing sound transmission and comfort. Replacing it keeps hearing aids performing properly.
Can I travel safely with hearing aids?
Absolutely—protective cases, portable chargers and drying containers help safeguard devices during travel.
