Hearing Aid Repair in Anchorage, AK
When an essential piece of technology begins to malfunction or gets broken, the temptation is to unceremoniously toss it into the junk drawer with all your other useless electronic gadgets. However, resist the temptation if you have a malfunctioning hearing aid.
Besides being powerful devices that allow millions of people to interact with loved ones and families, hearing aids help improve balance, prevent cognitive decline, and insure better mental and physical health.
If you’re dealing with a hearing aid that’s not working, you might need answers to questions, like:
How do I get them fixed?
Is there a hearing aid repair shop near me?
Where do I find hearing aid repair in Eagle River, AK?
Our hearing aid technicians at Alaska Hearing and Tinnitus Center understand the frustration of a broken hearing aid, but we also know that your hearing aids are far too valuable to be tossed into the junk drawer, which is why we provide ongoing troubleshooting, maintenance, and hearing repair to individuals in Anchorage and Eagle River, AK.
Three Common Problems that Require Hearing Aid Repair
Over the years, we’ve repaired thousands of hearing aids and have come to recognize that the majority of problems that require repair fall into one of three categories:
Wax Buildup, which causes malfunctions in the delicate electronic components when it gets inside the casing.
Excessive Moisture, leading to problems with corrosion or shorting and the interruption of electrical connections.
Broken Components and Loose Wires, caused by daily wear, dropping and/or stepping on them, and/or faulty components.
Quick Tip: A daily habit of proper daily cleaning and care of your hearing aids, removing them to shower, get in the pool or sauna, changing wax filters according to manufacturer instructions, and performing frequent inspections to identify problems before they get worse are all ways to lower your repair bill. Following scheduled maintenance also helps extend the life of your device while helping improve its performance.
