Don’t Throw Out Those “Broken” Hearing Aids!

by | Oct 3, 2024 | Hearing Aids, Patient Resources

Accidents happen.

Maybe you took out your hearing aids to shower or swim, but they fell into the water instead of staying out of it. Wax or dust buildup can make sound feel muffled or choppy, and misfitted batteries can lead to feedback or distortion.

When these sorts of mishaps occur, it’s frustrating when your tech doesn’t work as it used to, especially with something as crucial to your day-to-day life as your hearing aids. But before you relegate your hard-earned health investment to the back of the junk drawer in the kitchen, have you considered bringing it to an audiology clinic for a repair?

Hearing aids don’t have much in common with cars, but they’re both technology that needs a little TLC every so often: cleaning the outside, troubleshooting issues, and, where needed, repairing or replacing parts to make sure that it’s working smoothly.

If you’ve been wondering “Where can I get a hearing aid repair near me?”, you’re in the right place! Our on-site hearing aid technicians can help repair your hearing aids so you can get back to hearing the life you love most.

How Can You Fix My Hearing Aids?

When you book a hearing aid repair appointment with us, we take a look at the current condition of your hearing aids and assess the damage before tasking out the appropriate plan to fix them.

Hearing aids are much tougher than you might expect; if we can fix them, we’ll do everything we can to make sure your hearing aids are returned to you repaired and better than ever.

If it turns out your hearing aids have dust or wax built up that started to affect their performance, we can clean it out and/or replace the part that got dirty for you. Even the most routine cleaning can allow moisture inside the hearing aid by accident or move wax where it shouldn’t be. We’re happy to help if you think your devices could use a clean, too!

Repair vs. Replace?

Our hearing aid repair experts are ready to take a look at your hearing aids after they’ve had a fall or taken a swim. The most common breakage effects—no sound or muffled sound, not turning on, or water damage—can be fixed by our team within the hour, so you can go home with your hearing aids fixed up and ready to rumble.

However, some damage isn’t as easy to bounce back from; in that case, we can offer a trip to the manufacturer to get the more major breakages fixed up in-house. Alternatively, replacement devices may be the best option for breaks that can’t always be fixed.
