Hearing aids tubes

1. Gather your supplies:

• New hearing aid tubes
•  Small tool (tweezers or small screwdriver)
• Clean, dry surface
  
   

2. Remove the old tube:

• Gently pull on the old tube with your fingers.
• If it's stuck, use your tool to carefully pry it off.
  
   

3. Insert the new tube:

• Align the new tube with the hearing aid opening.
• Push it firmly into place until it sits securely.
  
   

• Use a dry cloth to clean the area around the tube to remove any debris. 

1. Use a Cleaning Tool:

• Brush: A soft, dry brush is ideal for removing visible debris.
• Cleaning Tool: Many hearing aid manufacturers provide specialized tools for cleaning tubes.
• Avoid Water: Never use water, alcohol, or other cleaning solutions on the tubes.

2. Gently Clear Debris:

• Brush/Tool: Use a gentle back-and-forth motion to clear any debris.
• Avoid Pushing: Be careful not to push the debris further into the tube.

3. Reattach Tubes:

• Dry Thoroughly: If you used water, make sure the tubes are completely dry before reattaching to the hearing aid.
• Air Puffer: Use an air puffer to remove any remaining moisture. 

It depends on the type of tube:

• Standard wax guards: Replace weekly.
•  Waterproof tubes: Replace every 3-4 weeks.

Signs you need to replace your tubes sooner:

• Reduced sound quality
• Whistling or feedback
