Troubleshooting Common Hearing Aid Issues

Some hearing aid issues can be fixed up at home, but if you’re unsure of what your device needs to get back to fighting form, feel free to contact us for help.

Basic hearing aid troubleshooting includes:

    • Inspect your device for accumulated substances. Dirt, earwax, and excess moisture can sometimes leave our hearing aids clogged up and underperforming. Keep your hearing aids clean to avoid this issue.
    • Ensure the device is on and batteries are well-charged/fresh. Another thing to check is whether the volume settings are correct for your unique hearing needs.
    • Double-check rechargeable hearing aids. Sometimes they won’t dock properly, so they won’t charge. Make sure you’re putting them on charge in the right position.
    • Examine your device for physical damage. Cracks or broken pieces to the casing or twisted or snapped wires or tubing can cause conflicts with the hearing on your hearing aid. Make sure to look for these, as they can be a quick fix with the right parts.

    If you find that you’re replacing your batteries more frequently than normal, rechargeable batteries don’t hold charge as they used to, there is damage to your hearing aid, or feedback is bothering your listening experience, come and get your hearing aids professionally checked.
