Hearing Aid Repair in Diamond Bar, CA
When a hearing aid stops sounding right, it's usually something small: wax, moisture, a worn part or a setting that needs adjusting. We start with a diagnostic check to find out exactly what's needed, explain it in plain language, and take care of it.
We service all the major brands, including hearing aids you bought somewhere else.
Common Hearing Aid Problems
Hearing aids are tough, but they live in a warm, damp place: your ear.
Here's what we see most often:
Weak or No Sound
Most often a clogged wax guard or a dead battery. Sometimes the receiver, the small speaker in your ear, has worn out.
Fuzzy, Crackly or Cutting Out
Usually moisture or a damaged receiver wire. Sweat and humid days are common culprits.
Whistling
Usually the fit: a worn dome, a hearing aid that's slipped out of place, or wax in the ear canal. A quick check usually solves it.
Cracks or Broken Parts
Dropped, stepped on or chewed by the dog. It happens. Bring it in and we'll tell you whether it can be fixed.
Quick Fixes to Try at Home
Before you come in, try these:
Still not right? Don't open it or use tools on it. Bring it to us instead.
When to Bring It In
Call us or book a visit if:
- It got wet and still isn't right after drying.
- Whistling won't stop.
- It's cracked, or a wire or tube is damaged.
- Sound is weak or distorted even after the quick fixes.
- It just doesn't help like it used to. It may need reprogramming, not repair.
Our Repair Services
Every visit starts with a diagnostic check, so you only get the fix you need.
Clean and Check
A professional cleaning, new wax guards and domes, and a listening check to confirm it's working properly.
Parts and Reprogramming
Domes, wax guards and other disposable parts are replaced in the office, and settings can be reprogrammed right there.
Manufacturer Repairs
If it needs more than that, we send it to the manufacturer or a repair lab and handle everything for you. Loaner hearing aids are available on a first-come, first-served basis while yours is away.
Fine-Tuning
Sometimes the hearing aid is fine and your hearing has changed. A free hearing test and new settings can make a big difference.
How a Repair Visit Works
Here's what to expect:
Keep Your Hearing Aids Working Longer
- Wipe them every night with a soft, dry cloth.
- Change wax guards when sound starts to dull.
- Keep them dry: take them out for showers and swimming, and use a drying jar if you sweat a lot.
- Keep them away from heat such as car dashboards and hair dryers, and away from pets.
- Come in for a clean and check every few months.
