Unitron hearing aid cleaning & care
Regular Unitron hearing aid cleaning is important to keep your hearing aids sounding clear, feeling comfortable and working reliably. Unitron 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 Unitron maintenance, cleaning and care. These include cleaning wipes, cleaning brushes, drying solutions and suitable replacement parts. Unitron wax filters and Unitron domes are especially important for regular care, as they directly affect sound, fit and everyday use.
How to clean Unitron hearing aids
When cleaning Unitron 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.
Wipe your Unitron hearing aids after wearing them with a dry, soft cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check the outer surfaces, microphone openings, domes, receivers, earmoulds and visible openings. If the sound becomes duller, weaker or unclear, first check whether the wax filter, dome or sound path is blocked.
Cleaning Unitron Moxi and Vivante
For Unitron Moxi and Unitron Vivante hearing aids, pay particular attention to the receiver, dome and wax filter. Many Moxi and Vivante models use RIC designs, where the receiver sits directly at the ear. This means earwax, moisture and dirt can affect the sound outlet or filter area more quickly.
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 or a worn dome. With rechargeable Unitron Moxi or Vivante hearing aids, the devices should be externally dry and clean before they are placed in the charger.
Daily cleaning
Remove visible dirt after wearing your hearing aids with a dry cloth or cleaning wipe. Carefully brush microphone openings and outer areas if dry residue has collected. The dome should sit freely and should not be filled with earwax. For in-the-ear models, the sound outlet is especially important because it sits directly in the ear.
Weekly check
Check domes, wax filters, receivers, earmoulds, battery compartments or charging areas once a week. Cleaning brushes, air blowers or other tools can help remove dry residue carefully. If a part is damaged, stiff, discoloured or heavily soiled, replacement is often more suitable than repeated cleaning.
Unitron and Phonak care products
Unitron and Phonak both belong to the Sonova Group. This means certain care products, cleaning tools and accessory systems can overlap. For users, this can be helpful if a product is not listed only under Unitron, but also appears in connection with Phonak. You can therefore also view the Phonak maintenance category when looking for suitable cleaning or care products.
However, compatibility should still always be checked for the exact hearing aid and replacement part. A shared manufacturer group does not mean that every Phonak accessory automatically fits every Unitron hearing aid. Especially with wax filters, domes, receivers and chargers, the model, connection and hearing aid design must match.
Unitron cleaning products overview
A Unitron 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 wipes, cleaning brushes, drying cups, drying capsules or other care aids. Which products you need depends on your Unitron model, hearing aid design and the replacement parts used.
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 Unitron hearing aids, cleaning wipes are especially useful if you want a simple care routine. However, they do not replace checking wax filters, domes, receivers or charging areas. For complete Unitron hearing aid care, cleaning wipes should be combined with suitable cleaning tools and, when needed, a drying solution.
Cleaning brush
A cleaning brush can be helpful for weekly care. Small brushes remove dry residue from microphone openings, domes, earmoulds and outer areas. Depending on the tool, a wax loop can help carefully remove earwax from suitable areas. A magnet can make battery handling easier for battery-powered hearing aids.
The brush should always be used carefully. Do not press into sensitive openings and do not try to remove stuck dirt by force. If the sound remains weak or dull, check the wax filter and dome or contact your hearing care professional.
Drying cup and drying capsules
A drying cup with drying capsules can help remove moisture from hearing aids overnight. This is especially useful if your Unitron hearing aids are regularly exposed to moisture, for example due to heavy sweating, humid weather, travel or long daily wear. Moisture can affect sensitive components and should therefore be reduced regularly.
Only place hearing aids in a drying cup if this suits the specific hearing aid design and product. Batteries or rechargeable batteries should be handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions. With rechargeable Unitron hearing aids, a charger is often part of the daily routine, while drying cups or electronic drying solutions can be used as additional care.
PerfectDry Lux
PerfectDry Lux is an electronic drying solution for hearing aids and earmoulds. It is compact, portable and suitable for regular drying. Electronic drying helps reduce moisture and supports hygienic hearing aid care.
For Unitron users, PerfectDry Lux can be especially relevant if the hearing aids are worn for many hours every day or are often exposed to moisture. The solution does not replace manual cleaning of domes, wax filters, earmoulds or visible openings. It supports care by reducing moisture and drying the hearing aids after external cleaning.
Unitron accessories for care and maintenance
In addition to cleaning products, replacement parts are also part of Unitron care. Unitron wax filters protect the receiver from earwax and should be replaced when the sound becomes dull, weaker or unclear. Unitron domes support fit, comfort and sound transmission in the ear. They should be replaced if they become hard, discoloured, blocked, loose or uncomfortable.
Chargers, receivers and other Unitron accessories can also be part of daily use. It is important that all accessories match your exact Unitron model. Similar-looking domes, filters, receivers or chargers are not automatically compatible.
FAQ about Unitron hearing aid cleaning
How often should Unitron hearing aids be cleaned?
Unitron hearing aids should be cleaned briefly every day. Wipe the devices after wearing them with a soft, dry cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check domes, earmoulds, receivers, wax filters and visible openings regularly. If you produce a lot of earwax, experience moisture issues or notice changes in sound, more frequent cleaning or earlier replacement of individual parts may be necessary.
How do you clean Unitron Moxi and Vivante hearing aids?
Unitron Moxi and Vivante hearing aids should be cleaned externally with a soft cloth or cleaning wipe. Check domes, receivers 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 Phonak care products also fit Unitron hearing aids?
Unitron and Phonak both belong to the Sonova Group, so certain care products and cleaning solutions may be similar or shared. Compatibility should still always be checked for the exact Unitron model. Especially with wax filters, domes, receivers and chargers, it is important to choose by hearing aid design and connection, not only by brand.
