Osmosis video - Sensory: Caring for hearing aids

Hearing aids are delicate devices that require proper care to function optimally and last a long time. As a healthcare provider, you might care for clients who use these devices to compensate for their hearing impairment problem. When caring for clients with hearing aids, it is important to help them clean their hearing aids daily following manufacturers' instructions and avoid alcohol wipes; don't use any hair products or wet the hair of a client while they are wearing their hearing aids; when they are not being used, store hearing aids in a container labeled with the client's name and room number; keep the hearing aids at room temperature away from heat and moisture; and make sure that there are spare batteries available and replace dead batteries right away.
