Servicing your hearing aids regularly is essential for maintaining their performance, longevity, and your overall hearing health.

We offer in house servicing of hearing aids.

It is important as serving assists with:

• Maintaining Optimal Sound Quality
  • Hearing aids can accumulate earwax, moisture, and dust, which can block microphones or speakers and reduce sound clarity. Regular cleaning and servicing ensure you’re hearing as clearly as possible.
• Extends Device Lifespan
  • Like any electronic device, hearing aids can wear out over time. Routine servicing helps identify and address minor issues before they become major problems, prolonging the life of your device.
• Prevents Malfunctions
  • Regular maintenance reduces the chances of unexpected breakdowns, such as:
    • Battery issues
    • Feedback (whistling sounds)
    • Connectivity problems (for Bluetooth-enabled devices)
• Ensures Proper Fit and Comfort
  • Ears can change shape slightly over time, and hearing aid parts like earmolds or domes may wear out or become uncomfortable. Servicing includes checking the fit to keep the device comfortable and effective.
• Keeps Software Updated
  • Some hearing aids use software that may need periodic updates for better performance, compatibility with smartphones, or improved noise filtering. A professional service visit can ensure you have the latest updates.
• Verifies Your Hearing Needs Are Met
  • Your hearing can change over time. During servicing, audiologists can:
  • Test your hearing again
  • Reprogram your hearing aids to match your current hearing profile
• Saves Money in the Long Run
  • Preventative care is often much cheaper than repairs or replacements due to neglected issues.
