Hearing aids are built to provide many years of useful service. However, regular exposure to a harsh environment means they will occasionally encounter problems. No matter how fastidious you are when it comes to hygiene, the ear canals inevitably attract dirt, moisture and earwax buildup – all of which can wreak havoc with the electronic components in your hearing aids. Regular maintenance can help keep them in great working condition, but once in a while, they may need servicing or repair.

Troubleshooting Your Hearing Aids:

If your hearing aids aren’t working properly, try the following techniques for a quick fix.

1) If there is no sound:

• Make sure the battery is inserted correctly.
• Replace the battery if you suspect it is dead or weak.
• Remove excess earwax from earmold or replace wax guard.
• Check tubing for wax buildup or moisture; clean with blower tool.
• Make sure hearing aid isn’t accidentally set to telecoil mode.

2) If you are experiencing feedback or whistling:

• Remove and reinsert your hearing aids.
• Turn down the volume.
• Make sure there is nothing blocking or covering your hearing aids.
• Have your doctor check your ears for excess wax and remove if necessary.

3) If the sound is weak or distorted:

• The battery may be dead or weak; replace it.
• Open the battery compartment and clean the contacts with a dry cloth.
• Clean the earmold or tubing with wax removal tools; replace wax guard.
