Taking Care of Your Hearing Aids 

If you take care of your hearing aids, then they will take care of you. With proper cleaning and care you can prevent many of the issues that cause hearing aid malfunctions. Here’s what to do:

Give them a soft place to land

Whenever you clean them or change the batteries, work over your bed, or place a towel on the work surface to prevent damage if they fall on a hard surface

Check the batteries and battery compartment

Debris and moisture in the battery compartment can lead to corrosion or shorting.

Protect them when not in use

Potential damage to your hearing aids can be avoided if they are stored in the hard case they come in rather than just tossing them into your purse or slipping them into your pocket.

Keep them dry

Remove them before showering or swimming, and use a hearing aid dryer or dehumidifier to reduce moisture.

Prevent wax buildup

Daily cleaning and changing out wax guards according to manufacturer specs (if applicable) are the best ways to prevent wax buildup.

Avoid temperature extremes

Avoid leaving your hearing aids on a windowsill or in your hot car where they may be damaged by UV exposure, and protect them from cold weather by wearing a hat, scarf, or earmuffs.

Bring them in for regular maintenance

To get the best performance from them, we recommend that you bring your hearing aids into the clinic every six months for a clean & check, our version of scheduled maintenance.

4 Common Hearing Aid Repairs

The delicate electronic components in hearing aids make them susceptible to damage for normal daily use. Many repairs are avoidable when you are aware of what hearing aid repair technicians fix most often.

Clogged Acoustical Tubing

Unfortunately, hearing aids stop the ear’s natural process of getting rid of earwax. So the buildup of earwax, either in the ear or in the acoustical tubing, causes significant issues and requires replacement.

Battery Power Issues

Fitting batteries wrong or using the wrong battery is among the minor issues related to hearing aid repair. However, more complex issues can stem from corrosion or a loose or faulty wire in the battery compartment

Damage to the Hearing Aid Hook

The hearing aid hook, the part that fits over your ear, often receives the brunt of damage from general daily use. When damaged, the hearing aid won’t stay in place. It can be repaired if caught in time, but sometimes it will need to be replaced.

Microphone Damage

Microphone damage is usually the result of your hearing aid falling onto a hard surface or being stepped on. This issue is not always easy to fix in the office and may require sending your device to the manufacturer for repair.

How long do hearing aid repairs take?
Simple repairs can be done while you wait. More extensive repairs may require some extra time, especially if we have to send them to the manufacturer.
Should I schedule a hearing aid repair appointment?
Scheduled appointments help ensure you get prompt attention, but you’re always welcome to drop in for repair, especially if you’re a visitor to our islands.
What if my hearing aids are out of warranty?
When the warranty period on your hearing aids runs out, then repair expenses will be out-of-pocket. That’s among the reasons why we recommend taking good care of your investment and advise our patients to upgrade their hearing aids every 3 to 5 years.
Can I get loaner hearing aids while mine are in the shop?
When available, we provide loaner hearing aids that are similar to the ones you’re used to while you wait for repairs or replacement of a lost, stolen, or damaged hearing aid.
Will I receive an estimate before the repair?
Yes. We always want to remain transparent, so our hearing aid technicians will provide you with a repair cost estimate for your approval before we continue with repairs.
