It seems convenient at first to store all electronics in one case, especially when traveling, but it can lead to lost devices or confusion. Consider getting a hearing aid-specific case to store your devices in and make it a habit to place the devices in the case every night or whenever you aren\u2019t wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store Hearing Aids High-Up <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Low-to-the-ground hearing aids are easy targets for children or pets to grab onto and run away with. To you, the devices are essential in your daily life, but to our kids and pets, they look fun to play with or chew on. Keep your devices out of reach, preferably in a drawer or cabinet, when not in use to avoiding needing urgent repairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a Nightly Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a digital or paper nightly checklist can help you remember to complete all your nightly tasks before bed. Try adding \u201cPut hearing aids in their case\u201d to the checklist. This helps make putting your hearing aids in their proper place a habit and gives you a little sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Removing Your Hearing Aids in Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taking your hearing aids out in public is one of the easiest ways to lose them. If you\u2019re sipping on a latte at Serda\u2019s Coffee Company and you take your hearing aids out for a couple of minutes, it is all too easy to leave them on the table and walk away. If you need to remove your devices for any reason, always place them in their case and, preferably, in your bag. This will help prevent them from being accidentally left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
