1 - Replace the batteries

Edit

First, try replacing the battery. Check if it is installed correctly, maybe it needs cleaning, etc. If that doesn't work, put in a new battery. If you are using a battery, carefully remove it and place it on charge.

2 - Clean the earmolds

Edit

Check the earmolds and tubes for the presence of wax. Wax is the most important protective component for our ears. Sometimes, however, it contaminates the elements of the device, interfering with its function.

3 - Check the condition of the earmold

Edit

This is true for some types of hearing aids. The earmold tubing may be defective in some way. In this case, the tube should be replaced with a new one. Please note that the dimensions of the old and new tubing should be identical.

4 - Analyze the location of the earbud

Edit

If the inspection does not reveal any defects, check the earbud. If the earbud is incorrectly positioned, remove and insert it correctly.

5 - Contact the service center

Edit

Never disassemble the hearing aid yourself. It consists of various small components. If you try to take it apart, you risk making it worse. An expert at the service center will check your hearing aid. The specialist will find the cause of the damage and suggest solutions. It's the safest option to get your device working again.
