Hearing Aid Cleaning
Any hearing aid repair we make starts with a thorough cleaning process and a check of all parts of your hearing aids. While hearing aid manufacturers are always trying to eliminate pathways for debris to get to the sensitive components inside a pair of hearing aids, the need for microphones and speakers to be exposed directly to the air means that there can never be a pair of hearing aids that is 100% impervious to earwax and contaminants in the air, at least not with currently available technology.
Earwax and debris always find their way into the nooks and crannies of a pair of hearing aids over time, and the first step to finding out why a set of hearing aids isn’t working properly is to remove all contaminants and check over the parts of the hearing aids once they’re clean. Oftentimes, it is a debris obstruction at the root of the malfunction, or a rusty microphone or speaker.
How Do I Know If My Hearing Aids Need Repair?
Hearing aids are essential tools for maintaining clear communication and an improved quality of life. However, like any technology, they may occasionally require repairs. Recognizing the signs that your hearing aids need attention can save you time and prevent further issues. Here’s how you can tell if it’s time to seek professional help:
No Sound or Low Volume
If your hearing aids are not producing any sound or the volume is noticeably lower than usual, it could indicate a problem with the microphone, speaker, or internal components.
Distorted or Unclear Sound
Hearing aids that produce crackling, buzzing, or distorted audio may have an issue with the circuitry or connections.
Battery Draining Quickly
If your hearing aids seem to need frequent battery replacements, it might be a sign of a power-related issue.
Physical Damage
Cracks, broken casing, or visible wear and tear can impact the functionality of your hearing aids and require immediate attention.
Connectivity Issues
If your hearing aids use Bluetooth and are unable to connect to your devices, it might signal a problem with the wireless components.
Unresponsiveness to Controls
If the volume or program controls are not responding, the device might have an internal malfunction.
Feedback or Whistling Sounds
Persistent feedback or whistling noises could indicate an issue with the fit, tubing, or a buildup of earwax in the device.
