Hearing Aid Repair Specialists in the Bay Area
Hearing aids are durable pieces of technology designed to not only improve your hearing, but assist you in continuing an active and independent lifestyle.
For those with hearing loss, they are among the most important investments into health and wellness available.
Hearing Aid Repairs
Advanced technology hearing aids have the potential to last up to seven years, depending on the model and how well they are taken care of, but there are several daily wear factors that can reduce their performance, like exposure to moisture, earwax, dust and handling issues.
Proper cleaning and troubleshooting are an integral part of getting the best performance from your hearing aids as well as extending their service life, but there are times when you’ll need a little extra help from the hearing aid repair specialists at Eartone Hearing Aid Center.
As you become more familiar with your hearing aids, you’ll be able to recognize when something isn’t working quite right, and you’ll probably be able to identify the problem right away.
As a quick reference guide, here are a few of the most common hearing aid issues and how to troubleshoot them:
Inspect your hearing aid and check for any damage or the accumulation of substances. A commitment to daily cleaning should prevent the accumulation of dirt, earwax or moisture.
Check the volume settings to make sure that it is at a level that accommodates your hearing needs.
Hearing aids are powered by either disposable or a rechargeable battery. Check that disposable batteries have been inserted correctly and are also secured in the compartment, and swap them out for a new pair to ensure that the issue is not a dead battery. Also, make sure your rechargeable hearing aids dock properly in the charger and are receiving a charge.
Inspect the casing and tubing on your device and check for any cracks or other signs of damage.
