I know your batteries are free but that sounds excessive. I replace the batteries in my aids every other week. I wear them from 6 AM to 11 PM.

For the wax, I have a little device to clean out the tubes and the ear plugs. I do that every other week or sooner if I see a build up. Now that my aids are out of warranty, I spend $20 every 6 months or so and they replace the tubes and check everything out at Lake Hearing.
