Hearing Aid Repairs
The Importance of Professional Hearing Aid Repairs
Hearing aids are sophisticated devices that can occasionally require maintenance or repairs. While some issues may seem minor, they can significantly impact the performance of your hearing aids and, consequently, your hearing experience.

Advice on proper care and maintenance to prevent future problems
The time for repairs can vary depending on the issue. Many minor repairs can be done in-office within an hour. More complex repairs that need to be sent to the manufacturer may take 1-2 weeks.
Many hearing aids come with a warranty that covers certain repairs. We can check your warranty status and explain what's covered. Even if your warranty has expired, repairs are often more cost-effective than purchasing new devices.
We can repair most types and brands of hearing aids. If we encounter a device we can't fix in-house, we can coordinate with the manufacturer for repairs.
If your hearing aid gets wet, turn it off immediately and remove the battery. Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth and place it in a dehumidifier if you have one. Then, bring it to us as soon as possible for a professional assessment and cleaning.
We recommend professional cleaning and check-ups every 3-6 months, even if you're not experiencing any issues. Regular maintenance can prevent many common problems and extend the life of your devices.
