What Earkeep does

A hearing aid is a two-to-seven-thousand-dollar computer that lives in earwax. Studies attribute up to 83 percent of malfunctions to preventable wax buildup — a clogged filter that costs about a dollar to replace — yet once the warranty lapses, a manufacturer repair runs around 250 dollars. Earkeep is the maintenance companion that keeps every part changed on time, for any brand of aid, with no account and nothing ever sent to a server. The schedule is genuinely hard to hold in your head. Wax guards need changing every 2 to 4 weeks. Domes every 2 to 3 months. Receivers, tubing, and drying routines run on their own cycles. Multiply that by two ears and nobody remembers when anything was last changed. Manufacturer apps handle streaming and volume; they do not do upkeep, and they abandon you entirely if your household mixes brands or uses over-the-counter aids. Earkeep gives every aid its own per-ear profile: brand, model, style (RIC, BTE, ITE, or OTC), serial number, and warranty end date. Each part gets a replacement interval and a last-changed date, and the schedule tab rolls everything into one clear list of what is due this week, per ear, per device. Changing a wax guard takes one tap and writes a dated history entry, so the answer to when did I last change this is always on record. When an aid suddenly goes quiet, the built-in troubleshooter walks the clinic sequence: wax guard first, then dome, mic, battery, receiver — step by step, fully offline, before you panic or pay for a repair. The supply bin tracks how many guards, domes, and batteries are actually left in the drawer and warns you before the box runs out. A warranty and repair ledger keeps every service visit, cost, and receipt note in one place. A battery-life log spots a receiver that is quietly degrading months before it dies. Earkeep is built for wearers and for the adult children who quietly manage a parent's aids from across town.
