Things to Try Before Seeking Repairs

You might need a slight adjustment or a thorough cleaning to restore quality sound.
- Check the battery life.
- Make sure the power is on.
- Ensure that the volume is high enough.
- Reinsert the hearing aid in your ear for better positioning.
- Dry the device out overnight if it is wet.
- Clean dirt and earwax build-up by brushing the dome and cleaning the dome’s center with your pick tool.
