Hearing Aid Repair for the Visalia, CA, Community

For those who are struggling with hearing challenges and want to remain connected to the world around them, hearing aids are of critical importance.

In addition to improving communication, your device improves your capacity to carry out the basic daily tasks of an independent lifestyle. However, when hearing aids are broken or not performing as designed, many people become frustrated and stop wearing them.

To continue reaping the many benefits your hearing aids provide, we offer hearing aid wearers throughout our region the opportunity to have their device repaired.

Three Common Hearing Aid Repair Issues

Wax Buildup

When earwax gets built up on the surface of your hearing aids, it eventually finds its way inside your device to the delicate electronic components, causing them to malfunction.

Excessive Moisture

Your ears are a rather warm and moist environment, and our climate has a tendency to add to that moisture. Left alone, excessive moisture inside your hearing aids can lead to shorting or a faulty connection due to corrosion.

Broken Components

If your hearing aids get dropped and/or stepped on, the components inside may break or wires may pull loose. They may also deteriorate over time due to daily wear or faulty components.

5 Tips to Prevent Hearing Aid Malfunctions

Tip #1

You can avoid most repair issues by developing a faithful habit of cleaning your aids daily over your bed or a towel to prevent damage if you drop them.

Tip #2

Proper cleaning involves cleaning away earwax and other debris that can get inside your device.

Tip #3

If you clean them before bed, they should have plenty of time to dry before use.

Tip #4

While you are cleaning, you can inspect them for damage—and if you find any issues, you can get the aids to us for repair before the damage begins to cause problems.

Tip #5

Be sure to keep up with scheduled maintenance and deep cleaning every six months.

How much do hearing aid repairs cost?

If we can repair your hearing aid in the office, the cost could be as low as $75.

Repairs done by the manufacturer can cost between $300 and $500, depending on the age of the hearing aid and their warranty status.

Why should I trust Visalia Hearing Center to repair my hearing aids?

Our hearing repair specialist is well trained and has the right tools and spare parts to repair your device(s). We have been repairing and servicing hearing aids for more than 16 years, keeping thousands of clients happy!

Can’t I just repair my hearing aid at home?

Please don’t. Except for daily cleaning, keeping them dry, and changing batteries, working on your hearing aids requires specialized training and equipment to avoid invalidating the warranty or doing damage to the delicate technology and programmed settings.

Should I replace or repair my hearing aids?

This is a question that has several answers. If your device is out of warranty and the damage is extensive, replacement may cost less than repair. If your hearing aids are in the third to fifth year of their service life, replacement means taking advantage of new technology. Apart from these two circumstances, repair is typically the right choice.

How long do hearing aid repairs take?

Simple repairs can be done while you wait. If there is extensive damage, requiring them to be sent to the manufacturer for repair, you may be looking at a couple of weeks.
