Rechargeable hearing aids have transformed the way people manage hearing loss. They’re convenient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective—eliminating the need for disposable batteries. But like any advanced technology, they require proper care and smart usage to perform at their best.
At Soft Hear, we help our customers get the most out of their rechargeable hearing aids through expert guidance and lifetime support. In this blog, we’ll explore the top 10 steps to improve the performance, lifespan, and reliability of your rechargeable hearing aids.
1. Charge Your Hearing Aids Daily
Make it a routine to charge your hearing aids every night, even if they’re not fully drained. Most models are designed to last 18–30 hours on a full charge. Keeping them fully powered ensures uninterrupted hearing throughout the day.
2. Use the Original Charger Only
Always use the manufacturer-provided charger that comes with your rechargeable hearing aids. Using third-party or incompatible chargers can damage the battery or reduce charging efficiency.
Soft Hear Tip: Ask our experts before using any alternative charging accessory.
3. Keep the Charging Case Clean & Dry
Dust, debris, and moisture in the charging dock can prevent proper connection. Wipe the charging contacts and case regularly with a dry cloth to maintain performance.
4. Avoid Moisture and Humidity
Rechargeable hearing aids are water-resistant, not waterproof. Avoid exposing them to high humidity, steam (like in the bathroom), or direct water. Always store them in a dry, cool place when not in use.
5. Don’t Overcharge
While modern rechargeable hearing aids are designed with overcharge protection, it’s still a good idea to unplug the charger once full. Constant charging beyond 100% can slightly degrade battery performance over time.
6. Update Firmware (If Applicable)
Some premium models offer firmware updates via mobile apps. These updates can improve battery optimization, Bluetooth connectivity, and overall performance. Check your brand’s app or visit Soft Hear for help updating.
7. Clean Hearing Aids Regularly
Wax or dirt buildup in the microphone or receiver can affect sound quality and battery usage. Use a soft brush or professional cleaning tools to clean your hearing aids weekly.

8. Travel with a Portable Power Bank
If you’re traveling or won’t have regular access to power, carry a power bank or portable charging case to keep your hearing aids charged on the go.
9. Replace Rechargeable Batteries (When Needed)
Rechargeable batteries don’t last forever. Depending on the brand, they last 2–5 years before needing replacement. If your hearing aids aren’t holding a charge like they used to, book a battery replacement at Soft Hear.
