Is your Hearing Aid not working like before? Discover common signs that indicate it’s time to get your Hearing Aid serviced by a professional.

Hearing Aids are powerful, sensitive devices that work hard every day to help you hear clearly. Like any electronic gadget, they require routine checks to stay in top condition. Whether you’ve been using them for months or years, it's important to know the warning signs that your Hearing Aid might need servicing.

1. Sound Feels Distorted or Muffled

If your Haring Aid no longer delivers clear sound, and voices sound fuzzy or distant it could be due to:

• Wax build-up in the microphone

• Moisture damage

• A clogged receiver or tubing

Getting it professionally cleaned or recalibrated can make a big difference in clarity.

2. Feedback or Whistling Sounds

Hearing Aids should never produce sharp feedback or high-pitched whistling unless they’re:

• Not fitting properly

• Blocked by earwax

• Experiencing internal microphone issues

If this continues despite adjusting the fit, it's time to have it checked.

• Aging battery

• Internal component damage

Don’t wait bring it in for diagnosis before the device stops working entirely.

4. Uncomfortable or Loose Fit

If your Hearing Aid feels looser than before or causes discomfort, the shape of your ear may have changed, or parts of the device might be worn out. Poor fit not only affects sound quality but also increases the chance of the device falling out or getting damaged.

• Your hearing needs have changed

• The device needs reprogramming

• Filters or microphones need attention
