Every now and then, your hearing aids might not sound quite right. Maybe things seem a little quieter than usual, or you notice a slight change in clarity. It’s not always a big problem, but it can make everyday listening feel a bit off. When that happens, a quick check or repair can help get things back on track.

What Are the Most Common Hearing Aid Repairs?
The most common hearing aid repairs often involve issues like clogged microphone or receiver openings, which can affect sound quality. Moisture buildup is another frequent culprit, especially in humid environments or after exposure to sweat. Broken battery doors, tubing or damaged outer shells may also need occasional repair. Sometimes, internal components like speakers or wiring can wear down over time. Many of these issues are minor and can be fixed quickly in the clinic. Regular maintenance can help prevent bigger problems and keep your devices working smoothly.
What to Expect During the Repair Process
During the repair process, your hearing aids will be carefully examined to identify the issue. In many cases, simple problems like blockages or loose parts can be fixed on-site during your visit. If the repair is more complex or involves internal components, the devices may need to be sent to the manufacturer. We’ll let you know what’s needed and give you an idea of the timeline. If there’s going to be a delay, we can often provide loaner devices so you’re not without support. The goal is always to get you hearing clearly again as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Proper Care Tips for Your Hearing Aids
Taking a few simple steps each day can help keep your hearing aids in good shape. Wipe them down regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture and earwax. Store them in a safe, dry place when not in use and charge them consistently if they’re rechargeable. Routine cleaning and occasional check-ins with your local audiologist can also help catch small issues before they turn into bigger ones.
