Common hearing aid issues

You may try to turn the hearing aid on in the morning and find that there is no sound or you may find that the battery door has come unhinged. These things do happen, even when the hearing aids are properly cared for. If you have any problems with your hearing aids bring them into our office so we can repair them. We are trained to evaluate and diagnose broken hearing aids. Some hearing aid repairs can be done in our office quickly; others may need to be sent into the manufacturer for repair. We can help determine what kind of a repair is necessary if you feel your hearing aid is not working properly.

Hearing aid repairs

If you are a current patient and have hearing aids that were not fit in our office, we are happy to try to repair your hearing aids. We can service most major manufacturers of hearing aids. Hearing aids come with a warranty when purchased new. If your warranty has expired, it is still possible to repair depending on the extent of the repair and the age of the hearing aid. In the event your hearing aid is severely damaged and unable to be repaired, we will work with you to determine what devices would be best for your current needs.

Hearing aid maintenance

One easy way to keep your hearing aids in good working order is by properly caring for and maintaining the devices. This means cleaning them daily, removing batteries at night to allow any moisture to evaporate and examining them periodically for any scratches, cracks, or damages. Remember to let us know if you discover any kind of malfunction or damage to your device.
