ReSound hearing aid cleaning & care
Regular ReSound hearing aid cleaning is important to keep your hearing aids sounding clear, feeling comfortable and working reliably. ReSound 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 ReSound maintenance, cleaning and care. These include cleaning wipes, cleaning sprays, cleaning brushes, drying cups, drying capsules and electronic drying solutions. ReSound wax filters, ReSound domes and ReSound chargers are especially important for regular care, as they directly affect sound, comfort and everyday use.
How to clean ReSound hearing aids
When cleaning ReSound hearing aids, you should always work carefully and use suitable care products. Electronic components must not be rinsed with water, and cleaning spray should not be sprayed directly into microphone openings, receivers, charging ports or battery compartments. The purpose of cleaning is to remove dirt, earwax and moisture without putting strain on sensitive components.
Wipe your ReSound hearing aids after wearing them with a dry, soft cloth or a suitable cleaning wipe. Check the outer surfaces, microphone openings, domes, earmoulds and visible openings. If you use a cleaning spray, apply it to a cloth first and clean the outer areas with it. Do not spray directly onto the hearing aid.
Cleaning ReSound OMNIA and Nexia
For ReSound OMNIA and ReSound Nexia hearing aids, pay particular attention to the receiver, dome and wax filter. Many OMNIA and Nexia models use RIC or RIE 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 ReSound OMNIA or Nexia 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 ITE 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.
ReSound cleaning products overview
A ReSound 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, cleaning spray, a drying cup, drying capsules or other care aids. Which products you need depends on your ReSound 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 are especially easy to use because they are ready to use and require no additional tools.
Cleaning wipes are especially suitable for users who want to clean their ReSound hearing aids every day and prefer a simple routine. They remove light residue, skin oils and dirt from the outer surfaces. For complete care, they should be combined with regular checks of domes, wax filters and a suitable drying solution.
Cleaning spray
Cleaning spray is suitable for more thorough external cleaning of hearing aids, earmoulds and accessories. It should be used carefully by applying the spray to a cloth or suitable brush. Clean the outer surfaces with it without spraying liquid directly into microphone openings, receivers, charging areas or battery compartments.
Cleaning spray can help remove dirt, skin oils and residue from surfaces. However, it does not replace changing wax filters or domes. If your ReSound hearing aid sounds duller, becomes weaker or produces feedback more often, you should also check whether the filter or dome needs to be replaced.
Cleaning brush
A cleaning brush or 3-in-1 cleaning brush can be helpful for weekly care. Small brushes remove dry residue around microphone openings 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 ReSound 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 ReSound hearing aids, a charger is often part of the daily routine, while drying cups or electronic drying solutions can be used as additional care.
ReSound PerfectDry Lux
ReSound PerfectDry Lux is an electronic drying solution for hearing aids and earmoulds. It is compact, portable and suitable for regular drying. PerfectDry Lux uses electronic drying and UV light to reduce moisture and support hygienic hearing aid care. ReSound generally points out that regular maintenance is important for preserving sound quality and hearing aid longevity.
For ReSound users, PerfectDry Lux is 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.
ReSound accessories for care and maintenance
In addition to cleaning products, replacement parts and chargers are also part of ReSound care. ReSound wax filters protect the receiver from earwax and should be replaced when the sound becomes duller, weaker or unclear. ReSound domes support fit, comfort and sound transmission in the ear. They should be replaced if they become hard, discoloured, blocked, loose or uncomfortable.
ReSound chargers can also be part of your daily routine if you use rechargeable ReSound hearing aids. It is important to briefly check and externally clean the hearing aids before charging. Chargers do not replace cleaning, but they can be combined with a fixed care and drying routine.
FAQ about ReSound hearing aid cleaning
How often should ReSound hearing aids be cleaned?
ReSound 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 ReSound OMNIA and Nexia hearing aids?
ReSound OMNIA and Nexia 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.
When should ReSound wax filters and domes be replaced?
ReSound wax filters should be replaced when the sound becomes duller, weaker or unclear, or when the filter is visibly dirty. ReSound domes should be replaced if they become hard, discoloured, loose, blocked or uncomfortable. Both parts are wearing parts and should be checked regularly to keep sound and fit stable.
