Phonak hearing aid cleaning & care
Proper Phonak hearing aid cleaning is important to keep your hearing aids sounding clear, feeling comfortable and working reliably. Phonak hearing aids are worn for many hours every day and come into contact with moisture, earwax, skin oils, dust and dirt. Without regular care, small build-ups can collect around microphone openings, domes, sound tubes or wax filters and noticeably affect the sound.
On this page, you will find suitable products for Phonak maintenance, cleaning and care. These include cleaning wipes, cleaning sprays, drying solutions, electronic drying devices and replaceable accessories such as Phonak domes, Phonak wax filters and Phonak thin tubes. This allows you to clean, dry and regularly check your Phonak hearing aids without needing a separate cleaning category.
How to clean a Phonak hearing aid step by step
When cleaning a Phonak hearing aid, you should always work carefully and use only suitable care products. Electronic components must not be rinsed with water, and cleaning sprays should not be sprayed directly into microphones, receiver openings or sensitive connections. The purpose of cleaning is to remove visible dirt, earwax and moisture without putting strain on the technology.
Daily cleaning
Wipe your Phonak hearing aid after removing it with a dry, soft cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Also check the dome, earmould and visible openings. If you use a cleaning spray, apply it to a cloth and use it to clean the outer surfaces. This removes skin oils, dirt and bacteria that can build up during wear.
Weekly check
Check once a week whether microphone openings, sound tubes, domes or wax filters are visibly dirty. Small brushes or suitable cleaning tools can help remove dry residue carefully. For Phonak hearing aids with a sound tube, the tube should also be checked, as moisture or discolouration can affect sound transmission.
Regular replacement
Many cleaning problems do not come from the hearing aid itself, but from replaceable parts. Phonak wax filters protect the receiver from earwax and should be replaced when the sound becomes dull, weaker or unclear. Phonak domes should be replaced when they become hard, discoloured, loose or uncomfortable. Phonak sound tubes should be replaced when they become discoloured, stiff or damaged.
Phonak cleaning products overview
A Phonak cleaning kit or a carefully selected care range can make regular cleaning much easier. Which products are useful depends on the hearing aid type, the accessories used and your daily wear pattern. Some products are intended for quick daily cleaning, while others protect against moisture or combine care with storage and drying.
Spray and cleaning wipes
Phonak spray and cleaning wipes are suitable for external cleaning of hearing aids, earmoulds and accessories. Cleaning wipes are especially practical for daily use and travel because they can be used quickly. A cleaning spray can help clean surfaces more thoroughly, but it should always be used carefully. Do not spray directly into microphone openings, receivers or electronic areas. Use a cloth for cleaning instead.
These products are especially useful if you want to clean your Phonak hearing aids every day and prefer a simple routine. They remove dirt, skin oils and residue from the outer surfaces and help the hearing aid feel more hygienic. For complete care, they should be combined with regular drying and replacement of filters, domes or tubes.
PerfectDry Lux
PerfectDry Lux is an electronic drying solution for hearing aids and earmoulds. It is especially suitable for users whose hearing aids are regularly exposed to moisture, for example through long daily wear, sweating, humid weather or travel. Electronic drying helps remove moisture from the hearing aid and protect sensitive components.
For Phonak users, PerfectDry Lux can be a useful addition to daily cleaning, as surface cleaning alone does not always reduce moisture inside the device sufficiently. Depending on the model and use, regular drying can help keep the function more reliable and prevent moisture-related problems.
Charge & Care
Phonak Charge & Care combines charging compatible rechargeable Phonak hearing aids with a care function. This makes it especially practical for users who want to charge their hearing aids overnight or during a fixed routine while also drying them. After placing the hearing aids inside, the charging and care process can be integrated easily into everyday use, depending on the device and wear pattern.
Charge & Care does not replace manual cleaning of domes, wax filters, earmoulds or visible openings. It is more of a complementary solution for compatible rechargeable Phonak hearing aids. For complete Phonak hearing aid care, you should still regularly clean the outer surfaces, check wearing parts and replace them when needed.
Phonak hearing aid cleaning kit
A Phonak hearing aid cleaning kit is useful if you want to combine several care products in one solution. A cleaning kit for Phonak hearing aids may include cleaning wipes, brushes, cleaning tools, drying capsules or other care aids, depending on the version. This gives you the most important products for daily and weekly cleaning in one place.
When buying a Phonak cleaning kit, you should consider which type of hearing aid you use. Behind-the-ear hearing aids, RIC hearing aids and in-the-ear hearing aids have different care points. With RIC hearing aids, the receiver, dome and wax filter are especially important. With BTE hearing aids with a sound tube, the sound tubes should also be checked. With in-the-ear hearing aids, protection of the sound outlet is especially important.
FAQ about Phonak hearing aid cleaning
How often should I clean my Phonak hearing aid?
You should clean your Phonak hearing aid briefly every day by wiping it after use with a soft cloth or suitable cleaning wipe. A more thorough check of the dome, wax filter, sound tube, microphone openings and earmould can be done weekly. If you produce a lot of earwax, experience a lot of moisture or notice changes in sound, more frequent cleaning or earlier replacement of individual parts may be necessary.
How do I replace the Phonak sound tube?
A Phonak sound tube should be replaced when it becomes discoloured, hard, deformed or visibly damaged. Carefully remove the old tube from the hearing aid or earmould and fit the new matching sound tube according to the design. Make sure the tube sits correctly and is not bent. Use only sound tubes that fit your Phonak model and earmould.
How do I replace the Phonak dome?
To replace a Phonak dome, carefully pull the old dome off the receiver or tube. Then place a new compatible dome firmly onto the connection. Check that it sits securely before putting the hearing aid back into your ear. A dome should be replaced if it is loose, hard, discoloured, blocked or uncomfortable in the ear.
