Common Hearing Aid Repairs

Hearing aids need regular maintenance for the best hearing quality. We recommend hearing aid maintenance and servicing every 6 months, or whenever you notice any concerns. Here are some common hearing aids repairs, and what you can do to prevent common issues with your devices:

Broken Tubes

The tubes connecting the hearing aid to the earmold can become damaged over time, affecting sound transmission. With wear, they can get cracked or warped. To prevent this issue, regularly inspect the tubes for any signs of wear and replace them as needed to ensure the best performance and sound quality.

Malfunctioning Microphones

Microphones are vital components of hearing aids that capture and amplify incoming sounds. If the microphone malfunctions, it can result in distorted or unclear sound. To prevent microphone issues, avoid exposing your hearing aids to moisture or humidity, as these can damage the sensitive components. Daily cleaning with a soft dry cloth can also prevent malfunctioning.

Battery Problems

Issues with battery performance, such as quick drainage or inconsistent power supply, can impact the usability of your hearing aids. To avoid battery problems, follow proper battery care practices, including storing batteries in a cool, dry place and replacing them regularly to maintain optimal power levels. You should also clean the battery contacts regularly to make sure you have a steady power supply.

Feedback or Whistling

Feedback or whistling sounds from your hearing aids can be caused by improper fit, earwax accumulation, or microphone positioning. To prevent feedback issues, ensure that your hearing aids are securely and comfortably placed in your ears and maintain good ear hygiene.

Sound Distortion

Sound distortion, characterized by muffled or unclear sound quality, can be caused by various factors, including programming errors, blocked sound ports, or damaged components. To prevent sound distortion, schedule regular cleaning and maintenance checks to address any potential issues as soon as possible.

Physical Damage

Accidental drops, exposure to extreme temperatures, or improper handling can result in physical damage to your hearing aids, impacting their functionality. To avoid physical damage, handle your devices with care, store them in a protective case when not in use, and avoid exposing them to harsh environmental conditions.

By following these tips and incorporating proper care and maintenance routines into your daily routine, you can minimize the risk of common hearing aid repairs and ensure the long-term durability and performance of your devices.
