Request Hearing Aid Repair

If a hearing aid is weak, silent, intermittent, not charging, whistling, distorted, or no longer connecting properly, the next step is to identify whether the problem is cleaning, a receiver or microphone failure, charging trouble, moisture, physical damage, programming, or a manufacturer repair.

Start With a Professional Check

Many apparent repairs are actually caused by blocked wax guards, clogged domes, debris in microphone openings, dirty charging contacts, moisture, or a failed receiver. These issues can often be identified quickly without sending the device away.

Before visiting, you can review our safe hearing aid troubleshooting guide. Stop using the device and seek appropriate care if there is ear pain, bleeding, drainage, swelling, unusual heat, or a damaged battery.

What We Can Check In the Office

• Wax guards, domes, earmolds, tubing, and sound outlets
• Microphone and receiver function
• Charging contacts, charger power, and battery behavior
• Visible corrosion, cracks, broken receiver wires, and moisture damage
• App, Bluetooth, and accessory connections
• Programming and output concerns
• Whether manufacturer service is required

Common Same-Day Solutions

Depending on the device and available parts, same-day service may include professional cleaning, wax-guard replacement, dome replacement, receiver replacement, charging-contact cleaning, minor physical-fit changes, app reconnection, or programming adjustments.

See our full hearing aid cleaning and tune-up service and hearing aid repair page for more detail.

When the Hearing Aid Must Go to the Manufacturer

Internal microphone failure, cracked shells, corrosion, battery replacement inside sealed rechargeable devices, complex circuit damage, and some charger failures may require factory service. Typical timing varies by manufacturer, shipping, parts, and warranty status. We explain the expected process before sending a device out.

Loaner Options

When a patient has severe hearing loss and cannot function safely without amplification, we make loaner needs a priority when compatible devices are available. A loaner may not match every feature or custom fit, but it can reduce the impact of being without hearing help during repair.

Devices Purchased Elsewhere

You do not always have to return to the original seller. Hearing Aid Factory Outlet evaluates many hearing aids purchased online, from another clinic, in another state, or through a national retailer. Service depends on the manufacturer, model, software access, parts availability, device age, and condition.

What to Bring

• Both hearing aids, even if only one seems affected
• The charger, charging cable, and power block
• Any remote microphones, television accessories, or remote controls involved
• Your smartphone if the problem involves calls, streaming, or the app
• Warranty or purchase information if available
• A short note describing when the problem occurs

Do Not Attempt Internal Repairs

Do not open the shell, pull on receiver wiring, insert metal tools, use glue, apply household cleaners, use compressed air, or expose the device to direct heat. These steps can make a repair more expensive and may affect warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment?

An appointment is recommended so we can reserve time and determine whether the problem needs cleaning, parts, programming, or manufacturer service.

Can you replace a receiver in the office?

Often, yes, when the model uses a replaceable receiver and the correct part is available.

Can you repair custom in-the-ear devices?

We can inspect and clean them, but cracked shells, internal microphones, and circuit failures generally require manufacturer service.

What if the hearing aid is out of warranty?

We explain likely costs before proceeding. Some repairs are still worthwhile; others may not make financial sense on an older device.

Can you help with charger problems?

Yes. Bring the full charging system so we can separate a device problem from the cable, power supply, contact, or charger itself.
