What Causes Issues with Your Hearing Aids?
Hearing aids are intricate devices that can experience wear and tear due to a variety of factors. One common cause of malfunction is moisture buildup, which can occur when hearing aids are exposed to humidity, sweat or even rain. Moisture can damage the internal components, affecting their performance and leading to issues like distorted sound or complete failure. Another cause of hearing aid breakdown is physical damage. Accidental drops, rough handling or the hearing aid being crushed can cause parts to become misaligned or broken, impacting functionality.
Additionally, battery issues can often lead to problems with hearing aids. Using the wrong type of battery or leaving batteries in for extended periods can cause corrosion or a power failure. Over time, the components of the hearing aid may also degrade naturally with prolonged use. For example, the microphone or receiver might become clogged with earwax or debris, which can block sound transmission and reduce clarity.
When Should You See a Specialist for Repairs?
If your hearing aid starts malfunctioning or shows signs of wear, it’s important to see your hearing specialist for repairs as soon as possible. Common issues that may require professional attention include distorted or inaudible sound, battery problems or if your device becomes uncomfortable or physically damaged. Hearing aids are complex, and attempting repairs at home may risk further damage. Your hearing specialist can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the problem and provide effective solutions.
When you bring your hearing aids in for repairs, the process typically involves cleaning and examining your device for any signs of damage or malfunction. Your hearing specialist will inspect the microphone, receiver, tubing and circuitry to ensure everything is functioning properly. If necessary, they may replace parts or reprogram your device to restore its original settings. For more severe issues, like internal damage or malfunctioning components, your hearing specialist may need to send the hearing aids for professional repairs or replacement.
