How to Clean a Phonak Audeo Marvel & Paradise Hearing Aids | Cleaning Hearing Aids

[@robingodby6147]

I just bought the Phonak M70-R and was given a very detailed overview on maintenance and how to wear the hearing aids by the audiologist. However, it's a lot of information in one sitting. Your video made it seem so much easier than I could remember. Thanks for this!

[@thewanderer577]

Just watched this video again because I couldn’t remember exactly the instructions you gave. So glad to have it available as a refresher!

[@barrywedgwood3464]

Thank you Dr Cliff for your very helpful guidance: my excellent Phonak Paradise aids are are now working as they should - I was given cleaning kit when I bought my aids but received no information about how to use it. Finding & benefiting from your video has been a great relief: the importance of cleaning the contacts and mic ports was particularly useful.

[@adhc8560]

Thank you! I was worried about cleanliness. My audiologist gave me a cleaning solution, but you give more detail on the process!

[@cyndemagidson1672]

This info is so helpful. Thank you. My husband and I are new to hearing aids and bought pairs of the Marvel M90 -- with a lot of input from your videos. We LOVE them -- have them about a month. I can hardly tell they are in my ears! And love the phone interface via Bluetooth.

[@DrCliffAuD]

That's Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Dr. Cliff... excellent video - informative and appreciated the knowledge on cleaning procedures... also you did a great job explaining the updated Phonak App that I watched on another youtube video from you... Your informative videos allows hearing aid wearers to get the most out of their hearing aids,,,, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

[@philipfricker3917]

What a great video. It was only when I split apart a wax guard disk (as shown in the video) that I could see there is an inner circle for used wax guards and an outer one for new ones, nor had it been explained how to clean the microphone ports. Now I know, many thanks from the UK.

[@AliceWilliams-l4x]

Thank you for a step-by-step how to clean hearing aids. I'm a new user wearing hearing aids and all help is appreciated!

[@virtualsharon]

Thank you so much. I have had my Audeo Marvels for four years and only now learned from you how to put in the dehydrating beads. So many things that should be obvious, aren't necessarily!

[@kellyw1648]

Great video. Thanks for posting. I alway tell patients to brush off mic ports in the morning after the wax has dried up. Makes it a litlte easier to brush off. Keep up the good working posting.

[@gradycothren2267]

Thanks Dr. Cliff, my AuD took care to show me all this already except for the Zephyr dehydrator. I received a larger jar and desiccant pack but since I'm a diesel mechanic I probably should invest in the Zephyr. I absolutely love these hearing aids. I have the Audeo 312 version with the ear bud style domes. It's amazing the capabilities of these to be tailored to your frequency loss, they are so much better than I ever imagined. Keep up the great work sir.

[@dlittlester]

Thanks for another great video. Cleaning is really important. My audiologist provided me with a Hal-Hen Mini Dri-Aid kit. She did tell me that it was important to remove the batteries before putting the hearing aids into the little tub. I do that every night.

[@ccandia2636]

Don Little I’ve been leaving the batteries in my Zephyr. Yikes and thanks for your post. I’ll be sure to take them out from now on!

[@ccandia2636]

Been waiting for this video. I had no idea how to use the cleaning tool in the case before watching your video. Thanks so much for posting. 👍🏻

[@jameseubanks1509]

Great video, Dr. Cliff. These new Phonak HAs are just what Android users have been waiting for.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Totally!

[@1947froggy]

Excellent production qualities. My only add is, I do the cleaning AFTER the aids have been dried however you choose to do that, and I use a Serene mini vacuum (designed for HA cleaning). Brushing has the chance of forcing debris further INTO the place you are trying to get it out of. The paint wore off my 5 yr old Oticon Alta Pro's but I think that's my sweat more than cleaning. Also the inside battery area always got dirty due to sweat & debris ingress. I never figured a way to clean there as it's packed with electronics. Tried a small swab wetted with electronics liquid cleaner once but did not do much so far as I could tell. Thanks Cliff!

[@alanm.6096]

The Dr. is right that the CeruShield Disk is a bear to manoeuvre. Especially for older people with limited vision. Phonak does need to look at a better dispenser. It is also difficult sometimes to determine that the 'filter' actually needs to be replaced.

[@FreezingFaces]

Also the filter can become dislodged and sit squint inside the receiver, which makes changing them out for a new one very hard. The older CeruStop filters are much easier to replace.

[@grafficsink1474]

Thank you so much. You offered so much more help than my audiologist ever did!

[@vljenewein]

Thank you very much for this!! On my Costco Kirkland Signature 10.0T the case does not have the perforations in the lid. Could I just put in a small electronic desiccant pack in the area in front of the hearing aids and close the lid while charging? Again, thank you for your excellent videos!! VERY much appreciate your time and effort spent to educate "us" consumers.

[@r-anne7375]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I take care of my mother. She has the rechargeable hearing aids that my sister got for her in another state, so I didn't get to see her doctor or how to keep them clean.

[@lorenakaspar460]

Thank you! Excellent explanation...EASY TO FOLLOW .

[@riverbender9898]

Such good clear explanations are much appreciated. I think you mentioned at the beginning you would talk a bit about the T-coil. Thank You.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Cleaning of the T-Coil versions is the same as the non-T-coil versions

[@retirednobaddays456]

What are your thoughts on the Phonak D-Dry? Is the uv feature worth considering? I was thinking of using the D-Dry once a week and the alcohol whips when it looked like there was wax on the hearing aid.

[@ahsanmalik1013]

Just subscribed your channel. I am due for replacement. Your educational approach has been major different in helping me choose informed choice; however, the worlds are split between Resound Quattro and Phonak Marvel. But this information helps us to make clear choice in regards to maintenance as well. Keep up the good up, Alhamdulillah [All Praises belong to GOD alone].

[@brockachoo]

Awesome video! I don't have Phonaks but this is true for my aides to. I'm going to get a dehydrator now. They sound terrific!!!!

[@Chuckwagon524]

For the rechargeable hearing aids, would a cue tip with alcohol or alcohol pad be good for keeping charging contacts clean? As to cut through any oils and skin cells?

[@w.patterson4413]

Thanks, Doctor Cliff. I need to go back to my AuD for come clarification as he doesn't appear to realize that even the newer aids (Phonak M70 RT) use the CeruStop doohickeys. Instead, gave me just the Cerushield. Luckily, I've still plenty of the Cerustop devices so can insert one to protect my speakers.

[@TheFreezerGeezer]

Sooo, you can use the stick thingy instead of the disc? Cool!

[@christyjennings1509]

Can you use the Zephyr by Dry and Store for the Phonak Audeo Marvel rechargeable hearing aids? The video only mentions the Zephyr for the battery hearing aids. Thanks. I learn so much from you!

[@brucekreidler7172]

I just got rechargeable Phonak Audeo Marvel aids I will not be putting them in my Zephyr dry and store....it defects the purpose of recharging your hearing aids overnight I will use the new charging unit and put a drying disc in that!

[@mcparlandt]

Very helpful, thanks. Any idea when Marvels can be enabled for the Roger devices. Need to get on your calendar.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Hi Thomas, I'm suspecting withing the next few months!

[@scottspeer2152]

Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

[@brucebrown3950]

Just switched from the Phonak (Disposable Battery) to the Marvel Rechargable. Best aids I have ever owned. I have my old dryer previously used every night. Since I already have a dryer, Is it advisable to use the dryer with my rechargeable (maybe once or twice a week.) Will it do any harm to the rechargeable battery?

[@DrCliffAuD]

Hey Bruce. Most likely you will be okay. However, I can't confirm this. I just got done reviewing the Redux professional dehydration system and it has been proven safe.

[@bassblockfloete]

Have you done a video on the Lively Hearing Aids? Thay claim to be FDA approved and include an online fitting. Thank you. Robert

[@shadrackotbwg2068]

do you have a video how to use desiccant filter for the paradise charger?

[@scrkind177]

Hello, I have a set of Phonak Paradise aids. They came with the CeruShield, however they do not work with my aids. Is this the right equipment?

Hi Cliff, would it hurt the rechargeable battery to put it in the heat style once a week, theory being batteries don't like heat. :)

[@thelmasmith1345]

Thank you I can hear again

[@johnjackiebarry3414]

Havin g a hard time putting in the new filter. For some reason it is not "clicking". I even took the little filter case apart but unable to attach the new one. Any thoughts?

[@drn1157]

How about removing the aid from the outer cover and cleaning the mic vents. That would help me a lot

[@gkenmackley5479]

Can I put rechargeable hearing aid in the Zephyr dryer my hearing aids are Phonak rechargeble

[@azo11426]

Doctor Cliff, I have Phonak Bolero M70-PR and the rocker switch very often needs to be pushed very hard to make it work. Is there any way to clean that?

[@brucekreidler7172]

Hi Doctor Cliff My marvel manual says to wipe the domes with a lint free cloth, you were using a alcohol wipe......will that damage them?

[@DrCliffAuD]

Alcohol will not harm them. Lint free cloths do not do a good job of removing wax from domes. Plus, you should be able to get some extra domes from your hearing care professional.

[@brucekreidler7172]

Thanks

[@brucekreidler7172]

Would the alcohol wipes be safe for the receiver also?....as you show in your video

[@DrCliffAuD]

@@brucekreidler7172 yes

[@checo056]

How does the custom ear mold come off the end of the hearing aid wire, they do not fit very well, I want to switch back to the dome type ear piece, but since this virus hit, the audiologist business I bought them from has closed down, with no one to contact since. I have a set of the ear domes . Than you

[@jyvonnep]

Thank you sooooooo much for the video. It's detailed information and is clear. Namaste.

[@joancarter8743]

How do you remove a filter that is stuck in the hearing side

[@Zasu42]

Doctor, I went to clean the vent hole on my titanium ear mold. I notice there is what I can only assume is foam. I expected to see a clean opening. Thanks

[@va7da]

Cerushield filter broke apart rather than popping out into disk tool, how do I remove the damaged filter now?

[@carolnewman2078]

After cleaning my hearing aids and replacing the domes and wax traps, I am having terrible feedback. Any thoughts?

[@DrCliffAuD]

I would suspect earwax in your ear canal. If sound reflects off the wax, it will cause excessive feedback. When you cleaned your devices, it probably increased your amplification, therefore increasing feedback potential.

[@jameseubanks1509]

Dr. Cliff, I forgot to ask... do the Marvels have a lock available? I am used to wearing locks on my Signia 7NX aids to make sure they stay in place. Thanks!

[@DrCliffAuD]

Yes they do.

[@rickjakus1144]

Are these instructions applicable for Phonak Audeo Paradise P90R hearing aids? Notes say the instructions are for both Marvel and Paradise hearing aids, but the video only describes Marvel units. I can't find the wax filters for Paradise units, only Marvel.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Yes, the cleaning procedures and supplies are exactly the same between Paradise and Marvel.

[@KellysCookin]

Very helpful thank you!

[@amandabrown2156]

Have you ever had a patient experience a “blown speaker” sound with a phonak paradise hearing aid? My audiologist tried sending it back to the company but I’m still having the issue with just the left device. It’s so frustrating and the sound quality of my bluetooth is terrible. Not sure what to do.

[@sadielong3021]

I have the Phonak Audeo M-R/RT and am having a problem with it. I have tried finding help online but can't and of course the audiologist that sold it to me isn't open on a Saturday. The hearing aid was working fine last night when I took it off for the night. This morning I can't get it to charge. The green light comes on on the charging case but there are no lights on the hearing aid itself. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

[@anerwaner9361]

Thank you so much

[@ALaughaday1]

Great video.

[@fallowfieldsuk]

Very useful thank you

[@johntibaldi9496]

What are your thoughts on using a hearing aid despite having ok hearing? The goal is to boost hearing above your baseline (since I imagine hearing ability is not binary but along a continuum, it seems plausible that you could boost up your hearing to a certain degree). The implications would be becoming able to pick up more subtle changes of tones etc.. Is my thought process wrong on the capability of a hearing aid?

[@DrCliffAuD]

A hearing aid could help you do this, but that is what Personal Sound Amplifier Products are for,, and they are significantly cheaper.

[@sarmilabasu5026]

I was not given the dehydration tablet you just used for dehydration

sorry my phonak.

[@SumoLife]

Can you do a vid on Lenire? wondering what are your thoughts about it.

[@DrCliffAuD]

No clue what that is.

[@SumoLife]

@@DrCliffAuD it's a new device that the Tinnitus community waited for years for it's release and it finally came, it claims it can treat Tinnitus regardless of their hearing loss, you should totally check it out, they are overbooked until 2021..

[@terrynesbitt-foster6066]

practically impossible to use wax trap cleaner, nothing clicks in or out and cannot change wax trap

[@DUKEofWAIL]

(Video production) Everything looks good on black table EXCEPT dark rubber earpiece on DARK surface. Lay it down on a white tissue, OR change to light gray table top.

[@jimfreeman4474]

Definitely should use a moist towelette to clean. Dry will never clean it enough.

[@ВергейКремее]

Cool video sorry no Russian subtitles.

[@tzsetzse]

Sorry Doc, Rachel Bishop A. UD. has a much more visually appealing video demo on this task. Yours is quite informative though. After watching Rachel's eleven times, I gave up trying to follow the instructions and moved on over to your video. Keep up the good work!
