Hearing Aid Repair or Replacement? How to Know What You Need

October 4, 2025

Hearing aids are an investment in your quality of life, but like any technology, they can sometimes stop working properly. The good news? Many issues can be fixed quickly in our offices—without the cost of a brand-new device.

Common Hearing Aid Problems That Can Be Repaired

  • Blocked Microphone or Receiver: Often just a cleaning or wax filter change.
  • Weak or No Sound: Usually caused by clogged tubing or a drained battery.
  • Battery Issues: Swapping for a fresh disposable battery or servicing rechargeable ones often solves the problem.

When Replacement May Be the Better Option

  • Severe Damage: Cracked cases or water damage may be beyond repair.
  • Outdated Technology: If your aids are over 5–7 years old, upgrading may provide far better sound quality.
  • Lifestyle Changes: If your needs have changed, newer models with Bluetooth, rechargeability, or noise reduction may be a better fit.
