What does a hearing aid cost?<\/h3>\n\n

What is an out-of-category hearing aid?<\/h3>\n\n

How do I pair my hearing aid via Bluetooth?<\/h3>\n\n

On your phone (or other device you want to pair with) go to settings and select \u201cBluetooth\u201d. In the list of available devices, find the type number of your hearing aid, select it and click on \u201cpair\u201d. <\/p>\n\n

What is the best way to maintain my hearing aid?<\/h3>\n\n

How best to maintain your hearing aid depends on your type of hearing aid. You can read more about it here<\/a>. It is always important to dry your hearing aid properly after use using a drying box<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n

I want to have swim caps custom made, do I need to make an appointment?<\/h3>\n\n

No, you don\u2019t have to make an appointment. On Wednesdays from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm and on Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, our specialists are waiting for you during our swim cap walk-in! <\/p>\n\n

What is the best way to maintain my earplugs?<\/h3>\n\n

Rinse your earplugs with lukewarm water immediately after use and pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Then let them air dry. You can also use a mild soap occasionally. Never use chemicals. Want to clean your earplugs more thoroughly? Then use a special cleaning agent<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n
