3 Common Reasons Your Hearing Aids Stopped Working

Over the years, most of the hearing aid repairs we do in our clinics are linked to one (or more) of three causes. Here are some tips to help you prevent these hearing aid malfunctions:

1

Earwax Buildup

Earwax can block components and cause malfunction; clean daily and replace wax filters regularly to prevent buildup.

2

Too Much Moisture

Moisture damages electronics and causes faulty connections; remove hearing aids before exposure to water and use a dehumidifier or dryer overnight.

3

Physical Damage

Dropping hearing aids or rough handling can damage internal components and housing; always handle devices carefully and use proper storage cases when not in use.

4

Battery or Connection Issues

Regular battery changes, keeping the battery compartment clean, and ensuring proper battery insertion can prevent many power-related malfunctions.

Got Questions?

Prescription hearing aids are hearing aids that are fit and maintained by a hearing care professional.

Over-the-counter hearing aids are for those over the age of 18 with only a mild degree of hearing loss or who need help communicating in certain situations. In contrast, those with more severe hearing challenges who perceive that their hearing loss is more disruptive to communication are better served with prescription hearing aids.

If you are struggling with your hearing, your family and friends may be saying to you “Get your ears checked.” What’s going on?

If you’re struggling to communicate with others, unable to keep up with your typical lifestyle, and frustrated with trying to enjoy conversation in a noisy restaurant or at a social event, you’re probably a good candidate for prescription hearing aids.

Medicaid and some insurance supplements provide benefits for prescription hearing aids – financing that is not available if you purchase an OTC device.

Each person’s adjustment experience is unique. The newly amplified sounds are a shock to your central auditory system, requiring time for your brain to acclimate and relearn how to process amplified sound stimuli.

You will probably adjust within a few weeks, thanks to coping strategies, ongoing adjustments, and support by your hearing care provider, which is much shorter than the typical 60-day trial period offered by manufacturers.

Yes. Even after you start wearing hearing aids, we will continue to test your hearing on a regular basis to make sure your hearing aids provide the assistance you need.

One of the great benefits of modern hearing aids is that they come with connectivity options, which means you can connect your hearing aids directly to your smartphone, TV, laptop, and other digital devices.

Our technicians frequently address issues like weak or distorted sound, feedback/whistling, moisture damage, and battery compartment problems. Many minor repairs can be done in-office, while more complex issues may need manufacturer service. Regular maintenance can help prevent many common problems.

Most manufacturer warranties cover repairs for 1-3 years from purchase. If your device is still under warranty, repairs for manufacturing defects are typically covered at no cost. For out-of-warranty devices, we'll provide a detailed estimate before proceeding with any repairs. We can also help you verify your warranty status.

Daily cleaning, proper storage in a dry place, regular battery changes, and avoiding exposure to moisture can extend your hearing aids' life. We recommend professional cleaning every 3-6 months. We're happy to demonstrate proper cleaning techniques and provide maintenance supplies to help you care for your devices at home.
