We understand that hearing aids are sophisticated devices with intricate components – which can make troubleshooting issues on your own frustrating and challenging. If you’re experiencing problems with your hearing aids, don’t waste time struggling at home. Our experienced hearing specialists at Evear Hearing are here to help. Simply reach out to us, and in many cases, we can resolve the issue right in our office during a quick appointment. Our goal is to keep you hearing your best, and we’re committed to finding the right solution for your specific situation.
The Importance of Hearing Aid Maintenance
First, it’s important to know that hearing aids require regular maintenance. Manufacturers often recommend cleaning them daily with a dry cloth and removing the batteries at night. This process allows excess moisture to evaporate, which causes damage when left unchecked.
If you don’t take these steps, your hearing aids may wear down faster. That’s why it’s important to follow any preventative maintenance steps your manufacturer provides.
Common Hearing Aid Issues
Even with proper maintenance, your hearing aids could malfunction occasionally. Common issues include:
- Battery doors coming unhinged
- Poor sound quality
- Excess moisture that doesn’t seem to go away
When you have problems like these, the hearing specialists at Evear Hearing may be able to help. We can at least evaluate your devices to identify the issue and recommend the best solution.
Modern hearing aids are advanced, which is why regular upkeep is critical for performance. The sooner you address problems like these, the likelier they can be fixed. That could be the difference between using the same hearing aid for five years or having to purchase a new model a year or two after your initial purchase.
When In-Office Hearing Aid Repairs Aren’t Possible
Evear Hearing can fix many common hearing aid problems in our office. However, some issues are so extensive that they require the manufacturer’s attention.
When this happens, we can help you ship your devices back to the manufacturer for repairs. You may not even need to pay for them if your hearing aids are still under warranty.
It could also make more financial sense to upgrade to a newer hearing aid. For example, maybe you’d have to pay several hundred dollars for extensive repairs. If you were going to have to replace the hearing aid soon anyway, you might as well do it now.
These are all decisions that our hearing specialists will help you make. Just contact us and tell us what kind of problem you’re experiencing. We’ll handle everything else to get you back to enjoying your hearing aids as soon as possible.
