Do You Need to Fix Your Hearing Aids?

There is nothing more frustrating than when your hearing aids are not working.  It seems like it always happens in the most inopportune time. If you think you are not hearing as well as you used to, there are several things to inspect. The problem could be the receiver, where the sound comes out of the hearing aid. It can also be the microphones are clogged. There are several such as these, that can really alter the sound of the hearing aid.

The good news is, Hearing Group is well equipped to service most brands of hearing aids. In addition, patients love that they get a pair of loaner hearing aids in the event we have to send your hearing aids in for repair to the manufacturer.

Is it the Hearing Aid or Your Hearing Getting Worse?

One important area that needs to be considered before your hearing aid gets sent in for repair is your hearing loss. As we get older it can be that a person’s hearing loss can gradually change. If you are turning up the volume all the way and it just doesn’t seem loud enough, that may be an indicator of a change of hearing. This can often be addressed with an appointment with your hearing professional for an adjustment.

Something else we find often is that the hearing aid is whistling. This can be caused by a person’s hearing loss changing once again but often can be traced to a poor fitting instrument. You may need to have a different dome on the end of the RIC receiver or a new mold made for your hearing aid for this issue. Another very common reason for this issue is an excessive amount of wax within the ear or at the end of the hearing aid where the sound comes out.

How Long Does a Hearing Aid Repair Take?

That is a great question. Hearing Group is equipped to look at and fix a variety of issues that arise with your hearing aids in the office on the same day. In the event, we cannot fix the issue in the office most repairs sent to the manufacturer generally take one to two weeks.
