Hearing aids have small working parts, and it is not uncommon over time for a hearing aid to need a repair. You may try to turn the hearing aid on in the morning and find that there is no sound; the battery door may come unhinged. These things do happen, even when the hearing aids are properly cared for. If you should experience an issue that needs repair, take the hearing aid(s) to your hearing care professional. They are equipped to diagnose broken hearing aids. Some minor hearing aid repairs can be done in the office setting in a short period of time; others will need to be sent to the manufacturer for repair. Your audiologist can help determine what kind of a repair is necessary if you feel your hearing aid is not working properly.
If you are not a current patient or have hearing aids that were not fit in our office, we may still be able to repair your hearing aids. We are able to service most major manufacturers of hearing aids and can tell you if yours is a brand we service. Hearing aids come with a warranty when purchased new. If your warranty has expired, it is still possible to repair most hearing aids for a charge. Depending on the hearing aid manufacturer, this repair may come with a new six month or one year warranty. Your hearing professional will provide you with details when you bring your hearing aid into the office.
