Hearing Aid Repair and Maintenance

Routine maintenance and timely repairs ensure your hearing aids provide clear, reliable sound. We offer in-office and manufacturer repairs to keep your devices in top shape.


Why Regular Hearing Aid Maintenance is Important

Hearing aids are essential medical devices that can significantly improve your communication and overall well-being. Unfortunately, like most advanced technology, they require continuous maintenance to function optimally. Regular care helps prevent issues like diminished sound quality, costly replacements, and device malfunctions that require a repair at the manufacturer.

By scheduling routine check-ups for you and your devices, you can extend the lifespan of your hearing aids. This will make sure that they continue to provide clear, crisp sound over time. Our team at Ohio Audiology Associates offers comprehensive cleaning, performance evaluations, and programming adjustments to keep your devices working their best.

Neglecting maintenance can lead to a gradual decline in hearing aid performance, much like neglecting hearing tests can lead to more severe hearing loss. If not corrected, you may miss important conversations or struggle more with background noise. Moisture build-up, earwax accumulation, and battery issues are some of the more common factors that tend to affect functionality. Our specialists are here to provide expert care and advice when it comes to diagnosing the problem and offering a resolution. We want your hearing aids to remain reliable and effective.

Common Hearing Aid Repairs We Handle

Even with proper and appropriate care, hearing aids can still have unexpected issues that require professional repair. Our skilled technicians can diagnose and resolve many problems quickly, especially those that are most common. That said, if a common issue persists, it may be time to take your hearing aids in for repair. Some of the more common issues include:

Weak or Distorted Sound

If your hearing aid’s sound quality has diminished or become unclear, it may be due to clogged tubing, microphone blockage, or internal component issues. We provide thorough cleaning and repairs to restore clarity.

Feedback or Whistling Noises

High-pitched feedback noises can result from improper fitting, earwax buildup, or internal malfunctions. Our team will assess and adjust your device for optimal performance.

Intermittent Functionality

If your hearing aid cuts in and out, it could be a sign of battery connection issues or moisture damage. We inspect and troubleshoot to ensure reliable operation.

Complete Device Failure

If your hearing aid stops working entirely, we conduct a full assessment to determine whether an in-office repair or manufacturer service is needed.

When to Bring Your Hearing Aids in for Service

Regular at-home care is imperative and does prevent many issues, but there are times when professional servicing is needed. Consider bringing your hearing aids in if:

  • You have persistent sound distortion or a reduction in volume, even after replacing the battery.
  • Your hearing aids are emitting feedback or whistling more frequently.
  • Your hearing aids turn off or have inconsistent performance.
  • You suspect that the device has been damaged or that moisture has caused a problem.
  • It has been more than six months since your last check-up and professional cleaning.
