Tips on Hearing Aid Repairs

It almost sounds counterintuitive that hearing aids

needs repair. After all, they don't move

around much, so wear and tear

should be slight.

For starters, whenever any kind

of technology is used, human error comes into play at some point. People will always cause

something to break.

The environment has an impact. Keep in mind

that your unit isn't waterproof and if you

live in a warmer, humid climate, moisture from the air and your body wrecks havoc on its sensitive circuitry.

When you do get to the point you need an actual

repair, your first stop should be to check your manufactures warranty and determine whether your particular situation

is covered.

The next best option is to consult an

audiologist or the specialist that

provided you with your earpiece.

Even if she cannot fix it,

she'll be able to point you in the

direction of some qualified folks

that can.
