Hearing Aid Maintenance & Repairs
Common Hearing Aid Repairs
Hearing aids are complex electronic devices. Just like your phone or laptop, hearing aids need repairs from time to time. Some of the most common hearing aid repairs include:
- Replacing the microphone: Over time, the microphone of a hearing aid may become clogged with debris or wear out, resulting in reduced sound quality.
- Repairing or replacing the receiver: The receiver, which delivers sound to your ear, can sometimes break or become faulty, causing low volume or no sound.
- Battery-related issues: Dead or worn-out batteries can cause hearing aids to malfunction. Additionally, corrosion from leaking batteries can damage the hearing aid's internal components.
- Repairs to the volume control: The volume control on a hearing aid may become loose or damaged, leading to difficulties in adjusting the sound level.
- Wax guard replacement: Earwax can accumulate in the hearing aid's wax guard, causing muffled sound or distortion.
When to Seek Professional Repairs

We offer on-site repairs for many common hearing aid problems. Our technicians can solve a range of issues in our office and repair your devices while you wait. If your devices need extensive repairs, we may send them to the manufacturer.
Manufacturer repairs are carried out by the hearing aid's manufacturer and may take longer due to shipping times. Manufacturer repairs are typically required for more complex problems or significant damage to the hearing aid.
