What Our Delighted Patients Say
Common Hearing Aid Problems
Hearing aids, despite being remarkably tough for such small devices, can malfunction or break due to several reasons, including:
- Wax Build-up: This can cause electronic components within your hearing aids to malfunction.
- Excessive Moisture: This can lead to corrosion or electrical faults within the components of the device.
- Broken Components or Loose Wires: This can occur due to daily wear, dropping, or stepping on the device, as well as faulty components.
To address these issues, and fix your hearing aids effectively, our hearing aid repair specialists are equipped with the latest tools and technology, ready to tackle any challenge your devices may present. Often, repairs can be done the same day, so you won’t be without your hearing aids for any longer than absolutely necessary.
Tip: Daily cleaning, avoiding moisture, and performing regular inspections can help limit the cost of hearing aid repairs. Following recommended maintenance schedules can also enhance the performance and longevity of your hearing aids.
