In the practical test, the hearing aid cleaning spray from Qindoo largely fulfilled the manufacturer’s advertising promises. Immediately after use, a pleasant, fresh fragrance spreads, which disappears after a short time without leaving any unpleasant odors. Handling is uncomplicated thanks to the handy 30 ml bottle and is also suitable for on the go.
The spray mechanism works perfectly, but there is room for improvement: The spray mist is very intense, which leads to an unnecessarily high consumption of cleaning agent for hearing aids. A finer dosage would be an advantage here.
In terms of cleaning performance , however, the spray was convincing: dirt, earwax and dust were efficiently removed and no residue remained on the surfaces tested.
The shelf life was tested over a week at room temperature. The product did not show any changes in its composition or functionality. The spray head continued to work perfectly and the cleaning properties remained constant.
The hearing aid cleaning spray from Qindoo is an effective and versatile cleaning product that is suitable for all types of hearing aids and headphones. Cleaning is quick, hygienic and residue-free. The product is definitely recommendable with slight potential for improvement.
