In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Hearing aid repair services address issues such as weak or distorted sound, feedback or whistling, intermittent operation, broken tubing, cracked casings, and moisture damage. Many common problems can be resolved in-office within a single appointment through cleaning, replacing receivers or tubing, reprogramming, or replacing batteries. More complex repairs involving internal component failure may require the device to be sent to the manufacturer, which typically takes one to two weeks. Audiologists can often provide loaner devices during extended repair periods. Regular maintenance appointments help prevent breakdowns and extend the lifespan of hearing aids, which typically last five to seven years.
