No-Risk Hearing Aid Repairs in Ventura, CA
Hearing aids are durable pieces of technology designed to not only improve your hearing, but also assist you in continuing an active and independent lifestyle. For those with hearing loss, hearing aids are among the most important investments available into their health and wellness.
Advanced technology hearing aids have the potential to last up to seven years, depending on the model and how well they are taken care of, but there are several daily wear factors that can reduce their performance, like exposure to moisture, earwax, dust, and handling issues.
Proper cleaning and troubleshooting are integral parts of getting the best performance from your hearing aids as well as extending their service life, but there are times when you’ll need a little extra help from a hearing aid repair specialist.

Troubleshooting Common Hearing Aid Problems
As you become more familiar with your hearing aids, you’ll be able to recognize when something isn’t working quite right, and you’ll probably be able to identify the problem right away. As a quick reference guide, here’s how to troubleshoot a few of the most common hearing aid problems:
- Inspect your hearing aid and check for any damage or the accumulation of substances. A commitment to daily cleaning should prevent the accumulation of dirt, earwax, or moisture.
- Check the volume settings to make sure that the volume is at a level that accommodates your hearing needs.
- Hearing aids are powered by either disposable or rechargeable batteries. Check that disposable batteries have been inserted correctly and are secured in the compartment, and swap them out for a new pair to ensure that the issue is not a dead battery. Also, make sure your rechargeable hearing aids dock properly in the charger and are receiving a charge.
- Inspect the casing and tubing on your device and check for any cracks or other signs of damage.
“When should I take my hearing aids to a professional?”
If these troubleshooting strategies do not fix the issue, some signs that you should have your hearing aid evaluated include:
- Your batteries aren’t lasting a long time and you find yourself replacing batteries quickly
- You identify cracks, breaks, holes, or other damage on your hearing aid
- You experience feedback and other unpleasant noises while wearing your hearing aids

FAQs About Our Repair Service
Can I repair my hearing aids at home?
Your hearing aid is a finely tuned, advanced technology digital device similar to your cell phone, so the right training, experience, and equipment are needed in order to properly repair your hearing aids. Focus your attention on basic troubleshooting and keeping them clean, dry, and protected from falls, and leave hearing aid repair to our experts.
Why should I trust you to repair my hearing aids?
Our hearing aid repair specialists are properly trained to deal with specific hearing aid repair issues and we have access to the right parts and equipment as well. We partner with major hearing aid manufacturers who help train our repair specialists, supply us with parts and provide ongoing technical support.
How long do hearing aid repairs take?
Simple repairs can be done while you wait. When we need a little extra time or if we have to send them to the manufacturer, we’ll use express delivery services so you can get them back in your ears ASAP, and we’ll provide you with a loaner pair while you wait.
How much do hearing aid repairs cost?
Many in-office repairs cost as little as $75, but if your device is sent to the manufacturer for repair, you could be looking at costs between $300 and $500, depending on the age of the hearing aid, the extent of the damage, and the status of your hearing aid warranty.
When is it better to replace my hearing aids rather than have them repaired?
Here are three scenarios when replacement is better than repair:
1. If the damage to your device is irreversible and it is covered by warranty, it is to your advantage to replace rather than repair.
2. If your hearing aids have spent as much time in the shop as in your ears (exaggerating, of course) and are no longer under warranty, it might be time to replace them.
3. If your hearing aids are approaching or beyond five years of service, upgrading them with a replacement allows you to take advantage of new technology in a rapidly changing industry.
