Signs Your Hearing Aid Needs Service

Catching these early — with AI troubleshooting or professional service — prevents minor issues from becoming permanent damage.

🔇

📻

Cracked casing, broken battery door, snapped tubing, or damaged dome that cannot be replaced with standard supplies.

💧

Moisture or Water Exposure

Urgent — Act Quickly
🔔

Persistent Feedback / Whistling

Constant whistling that persists after checking fit, wax guards, and proximity may indicate internal receiver damage.

Should You Repair or Replace?

Our Patient Care Coordinator makes the final recommendation — but here's a quick guide to help you know what to expect before you reach out.

Repair When…

  • ✅ Device is under manufacturer warranty
  • ✅ Hearing aid is under 4 years old
  • ✅ Damage is isolated to one component
  • ✅ Your hearing profile hasn't changed
  • ✅ Cost of repair is less than 50% of new device

Replace When…

  • ⚠️ Device is 5+ years old
  • ⚠️ Multiple recurring failures
  • ⚠️ Hearing loss has changed significantly
  • ⚠️ Repair cost exceeds 50% of replacement
  • ⚠️ Warranty has expired and damage is extensive

Not Sure Which You Need?

Our Patient Care Coordinator will assess your device and hearing profile at no cost — and walk you through your warranty coverage before any action is taken.

How Our Repair Process Works

A seamless, fully remote 6-step process to get your hearing back on track — handled by licensed specialists and our care team across all 50 states.

1
Starting Point

Report the Issue

Contact us via phone, chat, or AI assistant. Use the AI assistant to identify minor issues you can fix at home, locate your hearing aid serial numbers, and start a repair or replacement intake. This step takes less than 5 minutes and can be done anytime.

2
AI-Assisted

Intake & Triage

Our AI assistant collects your information — name, date of birth, affected ear(s), issue type (repair, lost, or damaged), and serial numbers if available. Minor, self-resolvable issues are guided through at-home tips. Repairs or non-repairable devices are automatically routed to our licensed care team.

3
Coverage Check

Warranty & Coverage Verification

Your Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) confirms your warranty status, loss & damage coverage, and any out-of-pocket costs before any action is taken. If eligible, a repair or replacement order is submitted directly through the manufacturer portal — no guesswork or surprise bills.

4
Service

Device Repair or Replacement

Repaired devices are professionally serviced, tested for full performance, and returned to you. Lost or non-repairable devices are replaced in accordance with your warranty and coverage. Our Speedy Repair option can ship a replacement or loaner device before the original is returned — minimizing your time without hearing.

5
Fitting

Remote Fitting & Confirmation

Licensed audiologists and hearing care specialists remotely fit and program your repaired or replacement device to your current hearing prescription. Tracking and follow-up confirmation are provided to ensure your device performs exactly as it should before we consider the service complete.

6
Complete

Case Closure & Follow-Up

Your PCC updates the case and confirms resolution with you directly. You receive a follow-up message to ensure complete satisfaction with your device performance. If anything isn't right, we reopen the case immediately — no new intake required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about hearing aid repair, replacement, warranties, and our remote service process.

Repair is typically right for devices under warranty, under 4 years old, or with isolated damage. Replacement is better when the device is over 5 years old, has multiple recurring failures, or your hearing loss has changed significantly. Our Patient Care Coordinator assesses your specific situation during the intake process at no cost.
Most manufacturer repairs take 7–14 business days from when the device is received. Speedy Repair options can ship a loaner or replacement device before the original is returned, minimizing your time without hearing. Our team provides tracking information throughout the process.
Most manufacturer warranties cover repair or replacement for 1–3 years from purchase and include protection against manufacturing defects. Many policies also include one-time loss and damage coverage. Our Patient Care Coordinator verifies your specific warranty terms before any costs are incurred.
The most common repair causes are: earwax or moisture damage to the receiver or microphone, cracked or hardened earmold tubing, physical impact or drop damage, battery compartment corrosion, and electronic component failure over time. Many of these issues can be prevented with regular professional cleaning and proper storage.
Minor issues like blocked wax guards, low battery, loose tubing, and simple Bluetooth pairing problems can often be resolved at home with guidance from our AI assistant. However, internal electronic faults, physical damage, or moisture damage require professional service.
No. Our entire repair and replacement process is designed to be handled remotely. You can start through the AI chat assistant, by phone, or online. A Patient Care Coordinator will guide you through next steps, and devices are shipped directly to and from our authorized service centers.
If the device is non-repairable, we work with your warranty and insurance coverage to arrange a replacement. Our licensed specialists then remotely fit and program the new device to your current hearing profile, ensuring optimal performance before the case is closed.
The serial number is typically printed inside the battery door, on the back of the device housing, or in the original packaging box. If you cannot locate it, our AI assistant can guide you through the process, or our care team can retrieve it through your patient records on file.
