Before taking them in for repair, there are steps you can take at home that might resolve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If there is feedback or whistling<\/strong>&nbsp;when your hearing aids are inserted, the devices might have been inserted improperly. Try removing and reinserting to see if that solves the problem. If not, earwax might have accumulated and clogged the ports; clean them thoroughly with your multi-tool or wax pick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If the sound is distorted or unclear<\/strong>, your battery or contacts might be dirty or corroded. Try cleaning the battery surfaces or replacing the battery. Sometimes merely opening and closing the battery compartment door will help. Make sure your device hasn\u2019t inadvertently been switched to T-coil mode.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If there is no sound at all<\/strong>, make sure the battery isn\u2019t dead. Check for a clogged microphone or sound outlet, or try changing the wax filter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonak.com\/en-us\/support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Phonak Support Website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.starkey.com\/support\/get-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starkey Support Website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signia.net\/en-us\/support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Signia Support Website<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.signia.net\/en-us\/support\/how-to-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\">Signia How-To Videos<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If these resources do not help you solve your problem, you\u2019ll have to take your hearing aids in for repair.
