At The Mendelson Group, we understand that your hearing aids are essential to your daily life. Over time, these small, sophisticated devices can experience wear and tear due to everyday use, exposure to moisture, wax, debris, or accidental damage. When issues arise, our specialists are here to assess and address the problem so you can get back to hearing your best.
Common Hearing Aid Issues
It’s normal to encounter occasional problems with your hearing aids. You might notice there is no sound when you turn them on, or perhaps a battery door has become loose. Even with good care, hearing aids can develop issues such as:
- No sound or intermittent sound
- Distorted or weak sound quality
- Battery doors that won’t close or stay shut
- Broken or missing components
- Difficulty connecting to accessories or Bluetooth devices
If you experience any of these or other concerns, bring your devices to us. We have the tools and expertise to diagnose and repair many minor issues right in our office. For more complex problems, we’ll handle sending your hearing aid to the manufacturer and keep you informed every step of the way.
Hearing Aid Maintenance Tips
To help prevent problems and extend the life of your hearing aids, regular maintenance is important. Here are a few ways you can keep your devices in good condition:
- Clean your hearing aids daily with a dry, soft cloth
- Remove batteries at night to allow moisture to evaporate
- Inspect your devices regularly for scratches, cracks, or other damage
- Avoid exposing hearing aids to excessive heat, moisture, or chemicals
If you ever notice your hearing aids aren’t working as they should, or if you see signs of damage, contact your hearing care professional right away.
