HEARING AID REPAIRS
Hearing aids come with small parts and components, hence it is not surprising if over time, these hearing devices may need service repairs. Hearing aid repairs play a vital role in the hearing journey of an individual especially because it supports how a person with hearing loss takes part in daily speech and conversations.

HEARING AID REPAIRS: FROM OLD TO NEW
No matter what the brand of hearing aids, they are all susceptible to damage or malfunction. Brands like ReSound, Oticon, Widex and other world-class hearing aids are respected in the hearing health care industry but no device is perfect or invincible. That being said, we are aware that new hearing aid acquisition is not always an option so part of our job at PA Center for Hearing and Balance is to make sure that you get the most out of your hearing aids and hear high quality sound in different environments.
During hearing aid repairs, some parts will have to be replaced. When a receiver (speaker) or microphone is replaced, there may be a dramatic increase in the sound volume. There are instances when a technician needs to turn up the volume of your hearing aid to compensate for other deteriorating parts. This is where the importance of choosing an audiologist to handle hearing aid repairs. Audiologists have access to a person’s specific hearing needs and can therefore control and adjust the settings. A repaired hearing aid may have its settings reset so an audiologist plays a big role in making sure that the hearing aid program matches the specific audiological needs of a patient.
If a repaired hearing aid produces feedback or gets too loud in a specific setting or environment, a visit to an audiologist is needed. Additional sound adjustments may be needed to ensure that the user can enjoy a healthy and functional hearing aid experience. To avoid having to get hearing aid repairs, make sure that you take extra care of your hearing devices by keeping them clean, dry and stored in a protective case when not in use.
