Common Hearing Aid Issues
Modern hearing aids are more technologically advanced than ever. That makes them much easier to use, but it also leaves the door open for more potential issues. For example, your hearing aids may experience problems like:
- Distorted or weak sounds
- Issues with battery life
- Feedback and whistling sounds
- Excessive moisture
- Battery latch issues
- Problems connecting to Bluetooth
- Issues related to moisture accumulation
If you’re experiencing any of these problems, our hearing instrument specialists can evaluate the problem and help you fix it – either in the office or by going through your manufacturer.
When to See a Hearing Instrument Specialist for Hearing Aid Repairs
If you notice that your hearing aid is producing distorted or weak sounds, it’s time to see a hearing instrument specialist. This can happen if the microphone, speaker or other parts are damaged or clogged. Additionally, if you’re experiencing problems with the battery latch, like difficulty inserting or removing the battery, it’s important to have it checked. A malfunctioning battery latch can affect the overall performance of your hearing aid. Seeing your hearing instrument specialist early can prevent further damage and ensure your device works properly.
When you bring your hearing aids in for repairs, the first step is a thorough cleaning and inspection to check for any issues or signs of damage. Our hearing instrument specialist will examine key components like the microphone, receiver, tubing and circuitry to ensure they’re working correctly. If needed, they may replace worn-out parts or adjust the settings to restore optimal performance. For more serious problems, like internal damage or malfunctioning parts, we may recommend sending the hearing aids for further repairs or considering a replacement. By addressing these problems quickly, your hearing aids will continue to provide clear, reliable hearing support.
Hearing Aid Maintenance
Taking good care of your hearing aids is the best way to avoid the need for extensive repairs. That’s often as simple as cleaning your devices daily with a dry cloth and removing the batteries at night to prevent moisture from accumulating. We will show you how to maintain your hearing aids to keep them working in optimal condition.
