Troubleshooting Common Hearing Aid Issues
As you become more familiar with your hearing aid, you'll develop a deeper understanding of how it works and feels. This increased familiarity will also enable you to quickly identify when your device isn't functioning as expected. If you encounter issues with your hearing aid, there are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take at home to troubleshoot the problem. These steps include:
- Perform a thorough inspection of your hearing aid to check for any damage or buildup of substances like dirt, earwax, or moisture. If you find any debris, use a dry cloth to gently remove it.
- Verify that the volume settings are adjusted to meet your specific hearing needs.
- Check the power source of your hearing aid. If you use disposable batteries, ensure they are properly inserted and secured in the compartment. If necessary, replace them with new ones to rule out a dead battery as the cause of the issue.
- Inspect the tubing on your device for any signs of damage, such as cracks or wear.
- If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it's likely time to schedule an appointment with a hearing aid specialist to have your device inspected and diagnosed.
By following these steps, you'll be able to effectively troubleshoot common issues with your hearing aid and get back to enjoying improved hearing.

- The batteries or charge don’t last as long as they should.
- You notice cracks, breaks, holes, or other damage on the hearing aid.
- You experience feedback or other unpleasant noises while wearing your hearing aids.
