Bernafon hearing aid cleaning & care
Regular Bernafon hearing aid cleaning is important to keep your hearing aids sounding clear, feeling comfortable and working reliably. Bernafon hearing aids are worn for many hours every day and come into contact with moisture, earwax, skin oils, dust and dirt. If this build-up is not removed, it can affect microphone openings, domes, receivers, earmoulds or wax filters.
On this page, you will find suitable products for Bernafon maintenance, cleaning and care. These include cleaning sprays, cleaning wipes, cleaning tablets, cleaning cups, drying solutions and suitable replacement parts. Bernafon wax filters, Bernafon domes and Bernafon chargers are especially important for regular care, as they directly affect sound, fit and everyday use.
How to clean Bernafon hearing aids
When cleaning Bernafon hearing aids, you should always work carefully and use only suitable care products. Electronic components must not be rinsed with water, and cleaning spray or moisture should not enter microphone openings, receivers, charging contacts or battery compartments. The purpose of cleaning is to remove dirt, earwax and moisture without damaging sensitive components.
Bernafon generally recommends cleaning hearing aids and earmoulds daily with a soft, dry cloth. Your hands should be clean and dry, and cleaning should preferably be done over a soft surface. Bernafon also recommends replacing wax filters at least once a month, or earlier if they are blocked or if the hearing aid sounds unusual.
Cleaning Bernafon Alpha and Encanta
For Bernafon Alpha and Bernafon Encanta hearing aids, pay particular attention to receivers, domes, earmoulds and wax filters. Many modern Bernafon hearing aids use RITE or in-the-ear designs, where the sound outlet sits especially close to earwax. This means filters, domes or openings can become dirty more quickly and affect the sound.
After wearing your hearing aids, check whether the dome is visibly dirty, loose, discoloured or hardened. Also check the wax filter if the sound becomes duller, weaker or unclear. In many cases, a change in sound is not caused by the hearing aid itself, but by a blocked filter, dirty earmould or worn dome.
Daily cleaning
Wipe your Bernafon hearing aids after wearing them with a dry, soft cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check microphone openings, domes, earmoulds, receivers and visible openings. With rechargeable Bernafon hearing aids, the devices should be externally dry and clean before they are placed in the charger.
Weekly check
Check hard-to-reach areas once a week. These include microphone openings, domes, earmoulds, receivers, wax filters, battery compartments or charging areas. Small brushes or suitable cleaning tools can help remove dry residue carefully. If a part is damaged, discoloured, hardened or heavily soiled, replacement is often more suitable than repeated cleaning.
Bernafon and Oticon care products
Bernafon and Oticon both belong to the Demant Group. This means there can be overlap between certain care products, cleaning tools and accessory systems. For users, this can be helpful if a product is not listed only under Bernafon, but also appears in connection with Oticon.
However, compatibility should still always be checked for the exact Bernafon model and replacement part. A shared manufacturer group does not mean that every Oticon accessory automatically fits every Bernafon hearing aid. Especially with wax filters, domes, receivers, earmoulds and chargers, the model, connection and hearing aid design must match.
Bernafon cleaning products overview
A Bernafon cleaning kit can be useful if you want to combine several care products for daily and weekly cleaning in one solution. Depending on the version, a cleaning kit may include cleaning spray, cleaning wipes, cleaning tablets, brushes, cleaning cups or drying solutions. Which products you need depends on your Bernafon model, hearing aid design and the replacement parts used.
Cleaning spray
Cleaning spray is suitable for external cleaning of hearing aids, earmoulds and accessories. It helps remove dirt, earwax, skin oils and residue from surfaces. The spray should be used carefully: apply it to a soft cloth or suitable brush and clean the outer surfaces with it.
Do not spray cleaning spray directly into microphone openings, receivers, charging contacts or battery compartments. Cleaning spray is especially useful if you want more thorough surface care. However, it does not replace changing wax filters, domes or other wearing parts.
Cleaning wipes
Cleaning wipes are practical for quick daily care and for travel. They can be used to hygienically clean outer surfaces, earmoulds or accessories. Cleaning wipes remove light residue, skin oils and dirt from the surfaces and help make the hearing aids cleaner and more comfortable to wear.
For Bernafon hearing aids, cleaning wipes are especially useful if you want a simple care routine. However, they do not replace checking wax filters, domes, receivers, earmoulds or charging areas. For complete Bernafon hearing aid care, cleaning wipes should be combined with suitable cleaning tools and, when needed, a drying solution.
Cleaning tablets and cleaning cups
Cleaning tablets and a cleaning cup are suitable for certain separate, non-electronic parts such as earmoulds or tubes. They must not be used for electronic hearing aids themselves. Electronic components, receivers, charging contacts and battery compartments should never be placed in cleaning solution or rinsed with water.
These products are especially useful if you use custom earmoulds or removable tubes. After cleaning, all parts should be completely dry before they are connected to the hearing aid again. This helps prevent moisture from reaching sensitive areas.
Drying solutions
Moisture can affect the performance and reliability of Bernafon hearing aids. Drying solutions help reduce moisture, especially during heavy sweating, humid weather, travel or long daily wear. Passive drying solutions such as drying cups and drying capsules can be used overnight, as long as they suit the hearing aid design.
Electronic drying boxes can provide stronger and more controlled drying. They are a useful addition to external cleaning, but they do not replace manual checks of domes, wax filters, earmoulds or visible openings.
Bernafon accessories for care and maintenance
In addition to cleaning products, replacement parts and chargers are also part of Bernafon care. Bernafon wax filters protect the receiver from earwax and should be replaced when the sound becomes dull, weaker or unusual. Bernafon domes support fit, comfort and sound transmission in the ear. They should be replaced if they become hard, discoloured, blocked, loose or uncomfortable.
Bernafon chargers can also be part of your daily routine, especially if you use rechargeable Bernafon hearing aids. It is important that all accessories match your exact Bernafon model. Similar-looking domes, filters, earmoulds or chargers are not automatically compatible.
FAQ about Bernafon hearing aid cleaning
How often should Bernafon hearing aids be cleaned?
Bernafon hearing aids should be cleaned briefly every day. Wipe the devices and earmoulds after wearing them with a soft, dry cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check domes, earmoulds, receivers, wax filters and visible openings regularly. Wax filters should be replaced at least once a month, or when blocked or when the sound changes.
How do you clean Bernafon Alpha and Encanta hearing aids?
Bernafon Alpha and Encanta hearing aids should be cleaned externally with a soft cloth or cleaning wipe. Check domes, receivers, earmoulds and wax filters especially carefully, as these parts come into direct contact with earwax and moisture. Do not spray liquid directly onto the hearing aid. If the sound becomes dull or weaker, first check whether the filter or dome is dirty.
Do Oticon care products also fit Bernafon hearing aids?
Bernafon and Oticon both belong to the Demant Group, so certain care products and cleaning solutions may be similar or shared. Compatibility should still always be checked for the exact Bernafon model. Especially with wax filters, domes, receivers and chargers, it is important to choose by hearing aid design and connection, not only by brand.
