Hearing Aid Repair & Maintenance Tips
No technology is completely immune to normal wear and tear or the occasional malfunction, but when your hearing aid isn’t working as it should, the impact is much higher than another technological malfunction you might face. It’s crucial to address the issue and get your hearing device back in working order as fast as possible.

Sometimes it’s a simple fix to get your hearing aids back to their working state, and sometimes a more in-depth repair or even full replacement is necessary. Before you bring your hearing aids to a professional, here are some quick fixes you can try that may solve your issue:
Replace the battery
Remove and reinsert your hearing aid
Clean your hearing aid
Replace the wax filter
