THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IF YOUR HEARING AID IS STUCK

Nano Hearing Aids says it's essential you address a stuck hearing aid appropriately, and this means getting professional assistance from a doctor or audiologist. Your first instinct might be to try to fish the device out of your ear, but Nano says this is a big NoNo. Instead, remain calm, contact your doctor or audiologist, and make an appointment.

If your device starts causing pain or bleeding, immediate medical attention is necessary, says Nano Hearing Aids. Consult their guide to find out what to expect during your emergency or GP appointment.

HOW A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL CAN HELP

Regardless of whether your hearing aid dome is stuck due to an emergency or can be addressed within a day or two by your ENT, doctor, or audiologist, stop wearing your device until it is safely removed. A professional will use a specialized tool to extract the dome, and then they'll check your ear for any injury or infection.

A spokesperson for Nano Hearing Aids explains:

“Having a hearing aid stuck in your ear can be painful as well as dangerous. Knowing how to deal with the situation is essential. At Nano, our OTC hearing aids come with customizable dome sizes and other accessories to help prevent this issue.”

CONSEQUENCES OF LEAVING A STUCK HEARING AID IN YOUR EAR TOO LONG

Leaving a stuck dome in your ear for too long can lead to severe pain, swelling, itching, and hearing impairment. While it may start as a minor inconvenience, it can quickly become a serious issue.

Incorrect dome sizes or long-term wear and tear are the most common reasons a hearing aid gets stuck. Nano recommends replacing your hearing aids' domes every three months and updating your hearing tubes every six months. As with anything, proper maintenance is key to longevity.

In addition to offering ear domes in varying sizes, Nano Hearing Aids also provides a full line of accessories to help keep your devices in top working order.
