Hearing Aid Repair

Do You Need to Fix Your Hearing Aids?

It’s incredibly frustrating when your hearing aids stop working, often at the worst possible times. If your hearing doesn’t seem as sharp, there are a few things to check. The issue might be with the receiver, where sound exits the aid. Or, the microphones could be clogged. Problems like these can significantly affect how your hearing aid sounds.

Fortunately, Hearing Group can service most hearing aid brands. Patients appreciate that we provide loaner hearing aids if we need to send theirs off for manufacturer repairs.

Is it the Hearing Aid or Your Hearing Getting Worse?

Before sending your hearing aid for repair, consider your hearing loss. As we age, our hearing may gradually decline. If you find yourself maxing out the volume without sufficient loudness, this could indicate your hearing has changed. This issue might require an adjustment, which can be done during an appointment with your hearing professional.

Another common problem is hearing aid whistling. This could be due to changes in your hearing, but it’s often linked to a poor fit of the device. You might need a different dome for the RIC receiver or a new mold for your hearing aid. Also, excessive earwax can cause whistling, whether it’s in your ear or on the hearing aid where the sound exits.

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.
