Hearing aids are complex devices made up of many small electrical components. They can also experience wear and tear over time due to excessive moisture, wax, debris or physical damage. If your hearing aid has been accidentally damaged or is not working as well as it once did, the hearing professionals at George Iwanow Hearing Aid Centers may be able to help. We can complete many hearing aid repairs and maintenance tasks in our offices, making it an easy and convenient stop for your needs!
What to Do About Common Hearing Aid Issues
Different parts of your hearing may lose functionality over time. For example, you might notice that the battery door on your hearing aids has come unhinged. Or, maybe you go to turn on your hearing aids one morning and find that there’s no sound. These situations can happen even if you’ve been diligent about hearing aid maintenance.
If you experience something like this, bring your hearing aids into our offices. Our hearing professionals can diagnose the problem and perform some minor hearing aid repairs in our office in a short period of time. If your hearing aid has more significant damage, we can help you send it to the manufacturer so that you get it back as soon as possible.

Our team can service a variety of hearing aid issues for products made by most major hearing aid manufacturers. Feel free to give us a call to see if we can work on your hearing aids. Even if your warranty has expired, we may still be able to repair your devices for a small fee.
Some hearing aid manufacturers even offer a new one-year warranty on devices that have recently been repaired. If we discover that your hearing is beyond the point of repair, we can help you identify devices that are good fits for your current hearing needs to get you back to your full hearing capability in no time.
Hearing Aid Maintenance
Taking good care of your hearing aids can reduce the risk of damage and the need for repairs. A good first step in hearing aid maintenance is cleaning the devices daily with a dry cloth. It’s also smart to remove the batteries at night to allow any moisture they may have accumulated throughout the day to dry out.
You should also be on the lookout for scratches, cracks and other types of damage in your hearing aid. If you ever notice these types of issues, give us a call or stop by the office, and we’ll let you know if a simple in-office fix can help you get better performance out of your hearing aids!
