Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 It's probably already here somewhere....but my daughter got her (our) first hearing aid today - BTE. The audiologist showed me how to detach the ear mould and that the cleaning directions would be in the book...I just looked in the book and it says " ask your hearing professional " . After hours now...what do I do with the rubber? purple thing with a small tube on it to clean it? Thank you!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 By the " rubber? purple thing with a small tube on it " do you mean the ear mold...the part that sits inside the ear? If you are talking about that, you can clean it with a mild soap (we just use our hand soap) and warm water. Be sure to rinse it well, and make sure it's completely dry before you reattach it to the aid.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Just a thought on cleaning ear molds ... Just before I read this email I was reading one my sister sent me about Peroxide. There is a huge list of things peroxide can be used for. Makes me wonder how it would work with the ear molds. My son has an old set he has grown out of but we just never tossed...I may just give it a try. Has anyone tried peroxide? What about a 50/50 mix of bleach and water and then clean well with soap to remove the bleach residue...???? Just throwing out a couple of thoughts.
