Hearing aids are a vital tool for social integration for those who have the misfortune to hear in a way defective. Over time, the implants have evolved greatly and today there are some that are invisible inside and have a great power in the amplification of sound.
At the same time, for a person to use them, it is necessary that they remain in perfect working order, and one of the best ways to do is to clean them with punctuality and knowing to do it without causing problems with the implants. In fact, maintain a clean internal prosthesis is much more complicated compared to the external ones. Let’s see how to do it.
Meanwhile, we must remember that implants are much more sensitive to internal and external that will thus be treated with greater delicacy. Fortunately, with time also their strength has been refined, and internal prostheses today are much less subject to breakage and damage than those of the past.
Not for this one can neglect the utmost care in handling, because the minimum setback, such as a fall (which is always possible, having regard for the consistency of the prosthesis and the difficulty in extract from the ear canal, trying not to cause ear pain), can lead to serious damage repairs that involve long (not less than two weeks, usually) and expensive (they can reach a few hundred euro events of failure of the amplifier).
The first step in knowing how to do, it is therefore, significant that in the extraction of the prosthesis. When you do this, it is okay to put your free hand under the ear, so you can immediately intervene if the denture slipping out of the hand who is performing the operation. Even better if you have available, a soft surface that might mitigate the impact of a possible fall. If you are at home, the best thing is to do the operation above his bed, for obvious reasons.
Once extracted the prosthesis, it should proceed to the use of a brooch or a toothbrush that is provided directly by the manufacturer. Since the brush does not go to clean in depth, the use of a pin is still recommended in order to remove any materials from the inside of the prosthesis into the two holes that are on the same one that goes inside the ear should be cleaned both.
Trying to get to the bottom with the pin, but did not press hard, or you will risk breaking the amplifier and advisable to repeat the cleaning operation at least once a week, to prevent the stagnation of the materials within the prosthesis that, accumulating, can lead to a malfunction of the same.
