There are a variety of different things that may be going wrong with your hearing aid from needing a battery replacement to fixing a damaged microphone, we are here to help. Here is a list of some of the common hearing aid repairs we typically find.

Common Hearing Aid Problems

1

A problem many hearing aid patients who wear receiver-in-canal and behind the ear hearing aid styles often face is a broken or damaged hearing aid hook. When this occurs the hearing aid will not properly attach to the ear. If your hearing aid hook gets damaged it is typically an easy replacement that involves either gluing the hook or replacing it with a new one. Contact Sound Solutions today to learn more about how we can fix this for you!

Another problem many people face is a clogged connector tube. Our bodies naturally produce earwax and for people who wear hearing aids, the production of earwax can sometimes get disrupted. When this happens, it can cause the connector tube to stop working properly and sounds can get lost. When this happens, it means it's time for a new connector tube. A member of our team at Sound Solutions can help you find a replacement. Contact us today for assistance!

After a while, it is common for some hearing aid wearers to experience a damaged microphone. When your hearing aids microphone gets damaged it is not always an easy and fast fix. We are not always able to make damaged microphone repairs at our Sound Solutions office but we will send it to the manufacturer to get it taken care of and replaced as soon as possible.

Battery Problems are another common issue that can prevent your hearing aids from working properly. If you have had the same batteries for a while then it may be time for a battery replacement. Another problem hearing aid batteries often face is a damaged battery, a wire not being connected properly or the size of the battery being incorrectly chosen. All of these things and more can cause the battery to not work properly.

5

Wax filters, or wax traps is a miniature plastic screen that keeps earwax away from the speaker or receiver. If you notice your hearing aid not performing well, check the wax trap in the device and look for any easily removable debris. You can also replace it with a spare given to you by a hearing healthcare provider. Otherwise, visit Sound Solutions to get a repair or replacement.

A hearing aid receiver works as your ears own speaker system. It collects signals to send sound back into your ear. If you are experiencing poor sound with a hearing aid, this wire may be damaged or need to be replaced. It is common to replace the receiver wire about once a year. Contact Sound Solutions to see why you may be experiencing a lack of sound quality in your hearing device.
