What Is Included in Hearing Aid Aftercare?

Hearing aid aftercare is based on the user’s device, hearing needs, listening difficulties and current concerns.

Hearing Aid Fitting Checks

The audiologist checks whether the hearing aid sits comfortably and securely in or behind the ear.

The fitting may be reviewed if the device feels loose, causes pressure, moves frequently or becomes uncomfortable during extended use.

Cleaning and Maintenance Guidance

You receive practical guidance on cleaning the hearing aid, removing visible debris, managing earwax and storing the device safely.

The audiologist may also explain which parts can be cleaned at home and which require professional servicing.

Tube, Dome and Ear Mould Checks

Tubes, domes, filters and ear moulds can wear out, become blocked or affect sound quality over time.

These parts may be inspected and replaced where appropriate based on the device type and condition.

Programming Adjustments

The hearing aid settings may be reviewed when speech sounds unclear, noise feels uncomfortable or the user’s hearing needs have changed.

Adjustments are made according to hearing test results, listening experience and real-life feedback.

Battery and Rechargeable Device Care

Users receive guidance on disposable battery handling, rechargeable device care, charging routines and storage.

The charging unit and device may also be checked when the hearing aid is not charging properly or the battery is draining unusually quickly.

Hearing Aid Usage Counselling

The audiologist explains how to wear, remove, operate and manage the hearing aid during daily activities.

Counselling may also include adapting to new sounds, managing noisy environments and setting realistic expectations.

Follow-Up Hearing Review

A hearing test may be recommended when the user reports a new listening difficulty or when hearing appears to have changed since the previous assessment.

Servicing and Repair Guidance

When a device requires technical servicing or repair, the team explains the next steps and whether the hearing aid needs to be sent to an authorised service centre.

When Should You Book Aftercare Support?

Book a hearing aid aftercare appointment if you notice any of the following concerns:

Whistling or Feedback

A whistling sound may occur because of fitting issues, earwax, loose parts, damaged tubing or incorrect settings.

Discomfort While Wearing the Device

The hearing aid should not cause persistent pain, pressure or irritation. The fit may need to be checked or adjusted.

Low or Weak Sound

Blocked filters, damaged tubing, low battery power, wax build-up or device settings may cause reduced sound output.

Unclear Speech

If voices sound muffled, distorted or difficult to understand, the hearing aid settings or physical components may need review.

The Device Is Not Charging

The hearing aid, charger, charging contacts or power connection may need inspection when the device does not charge correctly.

Reduced Battery Life

Unexpected battery drain may be related to usage patterns, battery condition, connectivity settings or a technical issue.

Difficulty Hearing in New Situations

You may need a programming review if hearing becomes difficult in meetings, restaurants, family gatherings or other listening environments.

Changes in Your Hearing

A new hearing difficulty may require a fresh hearing assessment before adjustments are made.

Loose or Damaged Parts

Domes, tubes, ear moulds, wax guards and other components should be checked when they appear loose, blocked, cracked or worn.

Hearing Aid Aftercare Process

Step 1: Share Your Concern

Tell our team whether you are experiencing discomfort, low sound, unclear speech, charging problems, feedback or another device-related issue.

Step 2: Device and Fitting Review

The audiologist checks the hearing aid, its physical condition and how it fits in or behind the ear.

Step 3: Hearing and Usage Discussion

You will be asked about your daily routine, listening environments, device usage and any recent changes in your hearing.

Step 4: Cleaning, Adjustment or Guidance

Depending on the concern, the audiologist may clean suitable components, review the fitting, adjust programming or provide maintenance guidance.

Step 5: Further Testing or Servicing

A hearing test, device repair, replacement part or authorised servicing may be recommended when required.

Step 6: Follow-Up Plan

The audiologist explains how to care for the device and when the next hearing aid or hearing review should be scheduled.

Adjusting to Your Hearing Aids

Getting used to hearing aids can take time, particularly for first-time users. Everyday sounds may initially seem different, louder or unfamiliar because the brain is beginning to process sounds that may not have been heard clearly for some time.

Regular use and follow-up support can help make this adjustment easier. During aftercare appointments, the audiologist can discuss your listening experience, review your device settings and suggest practical ways to use the hearing aids in different situations.

Do not stop using your hearing aids permanently because of discomfort or unclear sound without discussing the concern with an audiologist. A fitting or programming adjustment may help improve the experience.

How to Care for Your Hearing Aids at Home

Regular care can help maintain sound quality and reduce avoidable device problems.

• Wipe the hearing aid with a clean, dry cloth
• Keep the device away from water and excessive moisture
• Remove visible wax carefully using the recommended tools
• Check domes, tubing and wax guards for blockages
• Store the hearing aid in its case when not in use
• Charge rechargeable hearing aids according to the recommended routine
• Replace disposable batteries when performance becomes weak
• Avoid using sharp objects or household cleaning chemicals
• Keep hearing aids away from children and pets
• Follow the cleaning guidance provided for your specific device

Contact the audiology team when the device remains unclear, weak or uncomfortable after basic cleaning.
