Considering the horns are used to hear, I'd say they're soft and delicate, but not to the point where you can sneeze on one and it'll pop. I feel taking care of your scales and horns would be akin to shaving.. It's a pain in the ass, but pays off in the long run!
(Please do no get laser scale removal! That might hurt..)

Actually, harder organic materials typically result in better sound conduction; that's how bone-conduction headsets work. Vibrations are carried along the cheekbone, bypassing the ear and stimulating the auditory nerves. This company makes some fun ones, if the tech interests you:

Incidentally, teeth also conduct sound very well, but mouth-phones aren't quite as commercially viable.
At any rate, I think that Au Ra horns might not be all that different from those you'd find among the animal kingdom, which you would typically care for with certain oils or waxes.
