Hearing Aid Servicing & Check-Ups in Galway

Keeping your hearing aid working well

Cleaning, tube and filter replacement, and general upkeep can make a real difference to how well a hearing aid performs day to day. The audiologist can check for wear, clean out any build-up, and carry out minor adjustments or repairs. Some issues may need to go back to the manufacturer — you'll be told upfront if that's the case.

Periodic check-ups

Hearing can change gradually over time, even after you've been fitted with a hearing aid. A periodic check-up — roughly once a year is a reasonable general guide — makes sure your hearing aid is still set up correctly for your current hearing.

Signs it's worth booking a check

• •Sound cutting in and out, or feeling quieter than it used to
• •Whistling or feedback, especially when nothing's covering your ear
• •Visible wear on the tubing, dome or casing
• •Discomfort or a poor fit that's developed over time
• •It's been a while since your last check-up and you're not sure how it's performing

If it turns out to be time for something new

Most of the time, servicing is exactly what a hearing aid needs. But if the audiologist finds yours is old, no longer suits your hearing, or repairs wouldn't be worthwhile, they may mention whether an upgrade could help — with no obligation either way. See Hearing Aids for more on new fittings and upgrades.
