Many people have older hearing aids tucked away in a drawer because they no longer seem to work properly. Often, this doesn’t mean the aids are beyond repair — in fact, in many cases the problem is something simple that can be fixed quickly and affordably.
The most frequent issue with unused hearing aids is a build-up of wax or debris blocking the microphone or receiver. This can stop the aids from working effectively, but with a professional clean they can often be brought back to life.
If the problem lies with other components, most parts can be ordered directly from the manufacturer and fitted by us. This means your existing aids could be restored to good working order without the need to invest in a brand-new set.
It’s important to remember that hearing changes gradually with age. Even if your hearing aids are still functioning, they may not be programmed to match your current level of hearing loss. Reprogramming your aids to suit your latest test results can make a huge difference, ensuring they give you the best possible sound quality.
If you’re unsure whether your old aids can be repaired or reprogrammed, why not pop in for a chat? We offer free hearing tests in Ruthin, which allow us to check your hearing and see whether your existing aids can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Don’t let your old hearing aids go to waste. Call us or bring them in for a free check-up, a quote, and a chat. We’ll let you know if a simple clean, a new part, or a reprogramming could get them working again.
We look forward to helping you hear clearly once more!
