What does the daily maintenance of earmolds involve?

When removing the earmold, remember to pull the plastic earmold vigorously to prevent the interface from breaking, especially the soft earmold. Pay attention to the attachments on the surface of the earmold, if you find that there is a stare on the surface of the earmold, you should clean it as soon as possible, and put it in a ventilated place to dry naturally after cleaning. In winter, the inside of the earmold will condense water vapor due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside, and when it is found that there are water droplets inside the earmold, it should be thrown out in time and then put in an electronic dryer to dry.

Maintenance of earmold 1. When putting on and taking off the earmold, try to avoid pulling the plastic microphone tube with too much force to avoid damage, and use your hand to focus on the ear hook of the hard plastic flare earmold. 2. The dirt attached to the surface of the earmold and the cerumen in the ear canal should be washed with water frequently, and dried in a ventilated place to keep the microphone unobstructed. 3. There are often water droplets condensed by the evaporation of water in the ear canal in the earmold sound guide tube, which will be more obvious in winter.

When you find water droplets, you should remove the earmold in time, separate the hearing aid and the earmold, throw out the water droplets in the earmold microphone, and put it in a drying box to dry before continuing to use. 4. Generally, as the child grows up, the external auditory canal will also develop, and the sealing performance of the earmold will also decrease, and the hearing aid will not be opened to the original appropriate volume position, and there will be obvious whistling sound, or the earmold and hearing aid should be replaced in time (about every 6-12 months) when the child may fall off with a little exercise.

Hello! Hearing aids need to be maintained normally, and so do earmolds, which are not maintained regularly will shorten the service life and will also affect the sound effect of hearing aids. We can try the following ways to maintain the earmold, remember to remove the hearing aid when cleaning the earmold.

1.Wipe it off daily with a dry, soft cloth or paper towel and remove any dirt or foreign objects from the sound holes.

2.It can be washed with soapy water once a week to remove oil.

3.Shake off the water vapor and water droplets in the sound hole every night and put them in a drying box.

4.Attend regular inspections by your hearing care professional at the fitting centre to ensure the normal use of hearing aids and earmolds.

It should be the tympanic membrane, role:

1.The eardrum is the first receiving station for sound waves, sensing sound collected by the pinna and vibrating, which is then transmitted to the ossicles and then to the inner ear.

2.The tympanic membrane has a pressurizing effect. The sound waves act on the eardrum through the ossicular chain to the vestibular window, so that the sound wave conduction can increase the sound pressure by a factor of 17.

3.Conduction effect of the tympanic membrane: As part of the conduction of sound waves, the intact tympanic membrane is able to transmit sound waves to the middle ear without damage and to the vestibular window through the ossicular chain.

4.The eardrum has the effect of protecting the middle and inner ears.

1. The most basic function: the wearing of hearing aids can be more stable and comfortable.

2. Prevent acoustic feedback: A closed acoustic orifice is established between the hearing aid and the eardrum, and the sound outside the earmold is moderately isolated, and the amplified sound in the earmold will not leak out of the external auditory canal, resulting in acoustic feedback.

3. Improve acoustic characteristics: Correcting the shape of the earmold and the size of various sound hole diameters can make up for the lack of acoustic characteristics of hearing aids to a certain extent and further improve the sound quality after hearing aids.

1) In the sound guide tube of the earmold, water droplets often accumulate due to large temperature differences or water evaporation in the ear canal, which affects the function of the hearing aid. When such conditions are detected, the earmold should be removed from the hearing aid to remove water droplets and allow it to dry before use.

2) When loading and unloading hearing aids, try to avoid pulling the acoustic tube too hard to avoid damaging it. Correct loading and unloading methods should be used.

3) After long-term use of hearing aids, the earmold will collect dust, cerumen and bacteria. In order to ensure smooth sound conduction and avoid infection of the ear canal, the earmold should be washed regularly and dried before use.

4) After 6 months to 1 year of use, the sound guide tube will age and become hard, and it needs to be replaced in time. As the body of a child with hearing impairment grows, the ear canal will also develop and widen, and the earmold cannot adapt to this change and needs to be replaced.

How to take care of your ears? Massaging the earlobe area can beautify the skin, the ear socket is the center of the ear, and the cochlea is not easy to rub, so use your hands to pluck it.

I would also like to know that my ears have been uncomfortable lately.
