If your hearing aid has stopped working, started whistling, or sounds weak and muffled, you do not have to send it away and wait. HearCare Audiology handles minor hearing aid repairs in our office, along with maintenance and cleaning, for the major hearing aid brands. If our assessment shows the damage is more serious, we arrange the repair with the manufacturer for you.
A lot of what looks like a broken hearing aid turns out to be wax or moisture rather than a fault. A blocked wax guard, a split tube, or a clogged microphone port can all make a device sound faint, distort, or cut out completely. Regular cleaning and maintenance keeps a hearing aid working properly for longer, which is why we encourage a routine clean and check rather than waiting for something to fail.
Two things worth reading if you are troubleshooting at home: why your hearing aid whistles and whether wax guards can be cleaned.
Bring your hearing aids in to our Fort Wayne office, or contact our team to arrange a repair appointment.
