Did your dog use your hearing aid as a chew toy? Does your hearing aid have a simple malfunction? We’ve got your hearing aid repair covered!

Just like a phone or computer, hearing aids are sophisticated devices! They provide years of benefit when cared for properly.  But because of their everyday use, it can’t be helped that they are also susceptible damages. Even with every precaution taken, there are elements along with other variables that will destroy it.

Here are a few simple reminders about caring for your hearing aids if you do run into a problem:

  • Never attempt to repair your hearing aids yourself. While do-it-yourself projects may save you money, they usually cause more damage than good to your hearing technology. If you run into a situation where you need a repair, report the problem immediately to your local provider’s office.
  • Never wear your hearing instruments in the shower or while swimming.
  • If your hearing instruments do get wet, never try any “quick drying” methods such as microwaves, hair dryers, or ovens. Consult with your provider if your instruments are inoperable due to moisture.
  • Always place hearing instruments in a safe place out of reach of pets or children.
  • If your hearing instruments sound distorted or unclear, they may be in need of repair and you should consult with your provider immediately.
  • Visit your provider at least twice a year for follow-up care and routine service. Hearing loss is dynamic, we recommend that you having your hearing tested at least once a year to make sure you are receiving the maximum benefit from your hearing instruments.
