The process of purchasing hearing aids is demanding on your time, but for most people, once they receive a new hearing aid they experience a significant improvement in their life, both on a social and professional level.

UT Hearing Repair Centers
Most hearing centers provide a wide range of professional services, including audiologic evaluations and diagnostic testing, as well as sales and service of hearing aids. One of the questions you may want to ask is whether hearing aids repair are performed by a factory trained employee with years of experience. At the very least, a hearing aids repair service has to come with a warranty. Generally, hearing aids repair warranties have the following restrictions:
- Non-amplifier related failure;
- If the amplifier can be replaced, there may be a fee during warranty time;
- If the amplifier needs to be replaced outside of the warranty period, it may cost you a lot of money;
- Damage, loss or theft are not included in a repair warranty;
- A new ear mold, case / shell / face plate is not covered;
- Cleaning, checking, and testing services are not covered by a repair warranty.
The Costs of Repairing Hearing Aids
The cost of hearing aids repair range from $125 to over $200 (prices should include 2-3 day priority mail for mail-in repair services), with various limitations depending on the type, brand, and style of hearing aid. Learning how to properly use and care for your hearing aids can save you a lot of money.
Hearing Aid Repair Prices Can Vary
Hearing aids repair prices may vary depending on two issues: the hearing aid problems and the style of hearing aid you own. Possible causes of hearing aid problems such as feedback include wax build-up; aid pointed in wrong position; broken speaker tubing; loose fit; improper component placement; and the hearing aid style. So in diagnosing the problem, you have to check the following issues:
- Wax – Check with your audiologist and hearing aid dispenser for wax buildup and how to take care of it. If the problem you have is not related to wax-buildup, care or basic use of your hearing aids, then you should send it for a professional repair diagnosis;
- Speaker Tube – Check for a dislodged speaker tubing by examining your hearing aid closely;
- Internal feedback – A person without hearing loss needs to help you check if there is whistling in the hearing aid speaker;
- Fit Check – Do not cover the microphone, and push on the hearing aid using a pencil eraser while the hearing aid is in your ear. If there is no whistling sound, then your issue is most likely a fitting problem.
There are many solutions for a hearing aid fit problem, which you can attempt to do at home. But it is probably best to send your hearing aid for repair. Most hearing aids repair services can complete the work within 2 to 5 days, and the repair work is covered by a warranty for 6 months to a year.
