Hearing Aid Tune-Ups
Cleaning, parts, and troubleshooting for hearing aids that have gone weak, whistly, or intermittent.
Hearing Aid Tune-Ups
What this page helps you decide
Hearing aids sit all day in a warm, humid, waxy place. Sound goes weak, one side cuts out, a receiver clogs. Most of it is fixable at the bench in the office.
A tune-up separates the three usual causes: the device needs cleaning or a part, the programming no longer matches your hearing, or your hearing itself has changed and needs retesting.
When to Schedule
- One side is quieter than the other
- The device cuts in and out through the day
- It whistles when you put on a hat or hug someone
- A full charge no longer lasts the evening
- The phone pairing drops and will not come back
What to Expect During the Appointment
Step 1
We ask when it started, which ear, and what you have already tried.
Step 2
The device is examined and cleaned: wax filter, receiver, dome, microphone ports, battery contacts.
Step 3
Worn parts are replaced from what we hold for that manufacturer.
Step 4
If cleaning does not bring it back, we check the programming and tell you whether this is a manufacturer repair, a retest, or a device at the end of its life.
Why Professional Audiology Care Matters
A lot of the hearing aids people have given up on are not broken. They are blocked. Bring them in before the wax reaches the receiver, and say which ear and which situation, because that is what shortens the visit.

Make the appointment more useful
The most productive hearing-care visits start with specific examples. Bring the moments where listening breaks down, the devices or apps you already use, and the questions you want answered.

Hearing Aid Tune-Ups FAQs
How often should hearing aids be cleaned here?
It depends on how much wax you produce, how dusty or humid your days are, and the device itself. Ask at your next visit what interval makes sense for yours.
Can you service hearing aids I bought somewhere else?
Often, but it depends on the brand, the model, the age, and whether we have the fitting software. Call with the make and model before you drive over.
Is a tune-up the same as a repair?
No. A tune-up is cleaning, parts, and adjustment done here. A repair means the device goes back to the manufacturer because a component has failed.
What should I bring?
Everything: both devices even if only one is misbehaving, the charger and cable, spare domes and filters, and your phone with the app on it.
