Weak or quiet
Sound suddenly seems lower than usual or one device is not producing the expected volume.
Whistling
Unexpected feedback can have several causes, including fit, buildup or device-related issues.
Won't turn on
Battery and charging connections are among the first things to investigate when a device appears inactive.
Wireless issues
Connectivity problems can involve the hearing aid, accessory, phone or settings rather than a physical failure.
Blocked openings
Debris or buildup can affect sound delivery and should be addressed using the correct care procedure.
Damage or wear
If a component is damaged or worn, a professional assessment can help determine the appropriate service.
A few simple checks can save time.
If your device has stopped working as expected, note what changed and whether the issue affects one or both hearing aids.
Follow the care instructions for your specific model. Avoid opening or modifying the hearing aid yourself.

Cleaning, replacing routine components, checking power and addressing simple settings can sometimes restore expected performance.
Professional service may be needed
If the device has physical damage, persistent performance problems or an internal fault, further service may be appropriate.
Hearing Aid Repair: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my hearing aid whistling?
Whistling, also called feedback, happens when amplified sound leaks out of the ear and is picked up again by the microphone. Common causes include earwax in the ear canal, a dome or earmold that no longer fits snugly, worn or cracked tubing, or the hearing aid not sitting properly in the ear. It can also happen if the volume is set too high or something like a hat or hand is close to the device. If whistling continues after you reseat the hearing aid, bring it to our Sherwood Park clinic and we'll help find the cause.
My hearing aid stopped working. What should I check first?
Start with the basics. Make sure the hearing aid is turned on, then check the power: put in a fresh battery (make sure the battery door closes fully) or confirm your rechargeable hearing aids are properly seated in the charger and the charger light is on. Next, look for anything blocking the sound opening, such as earwax or debris, and make sure the device hasn't been exposed to moisture. If it's still silent, weak or cutting out, don't try to open it. Call us at 587-404-6064 and we'll troubleshoot it with you.
Can I fix my hearing aid at home?
You can do some basic care at home: wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth, use the small brush that came with it, and replace the battery or charge it. Don't use water, alcohol or cleaning sprays, and don't open the casing or try to repair it yourself, as this can cause damage that's harder to fix. For problems with sound quality, power or fit, it's best to have a hearing care professional look at it. You can book a visit with us in Sherwood Park or St. Paul.
How much does hearing aid repair cost?
Repair costs vary by device and by the type of repair. Hearing aids still under manufacturer warranty may qualify for covered repairs, and some private insurance plans or benefit programs help with repair costs. We'll check your device, explain your options and provide an estimate before any work begins. Contact us at 587-404-6064 to get started.
How long does a repair take?
It depends on the problem. Simple issues like cleaning, replacing a wax guard or dome, or troubleshooting a setting can often be handled during your visit. If your hearing aid needs a part replaced or has to be sent to the manufacturer, it takes longer, and the timeframe depends on the brand and the type of repair. When you bring your device in, we'll tell you what to expect for your specific repair. Call us at 587-404-6064 to book an appointment in Sherwood Park or St. Paul.
