Have you thought of your digital hearing aid as an intelligent computer, a system that requires care to achieve optimal performance? In many ways the new digital hearing aids are like miniature laptops in the treatment that occurs in the mechanisms within the devices. However unlike laptops, hearing aids are needed to function in the ear canal, a place that is dark, full of moisture, dead skin and wax.
