Is it okay to clean the hearing aids with baby wipes?

OK as long as you don’t swamp the air with the moisture; anti-bacterial or alcohol swabs are generally preferred though as they are more effective in keeping the aids hygienically clean.

I’ve been noticing a lot of ear wax on my hearing aids and I find that using baby wipes is the best way to clean it out. Is this okay because I’m also cleaning where the mic is. I don’t go inside but I go over the surface.

My audi claimed her personal research led her to use a version of “Wet Ones”. These are fragrance and alcohol free and extra gentle for sensitive skin.

I use the alcohol swabs that come in a foil wrap where you tear open the foil and you have a small alcohol swab. It works well, isn’t expensive and I use one every evening to wipe the entire aid including the dome. Another option is a bottle of denatured alcohol and a soft tissue. A little bit cheaper, but a little more work. The swab isn’t soaked, just good and damp.
