Hearing aids are complex electronic devices that require proper care and use. But despite users' efforts, they often break down. Hearing aid manufacturers guarantee a 3-5 year lifespan. But not all hearing aids work during this time. Various reasons lead to the breakdown of the devices. They all lead to the same result. You are left alone with your hearing loss. You will find hundreds of new models on the \[hearing aid store\](https://audiologyisland.com/online-shop/) for purchase. Before you start to panic and frustrate, try to repair your devices. Take the following steps to do this.

- text: 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.

- text: 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.

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.
