Hearing Aid Repairs & Maintenance
It’s important to carefully maintain your hearing aids so they work their best today, tomorrow and for months down the road. Hearing aid repairs and maintenance requires daily at-home cleaning, regular servicing at an audiologist’s office, basic troubleshooting skills, and occasional professional repairs by your Columbine Hearing Care provider.
Hearing Aid Maintenance
Daily cleanings are the only way to ensure your hearing aids are always working their best. When you get your new hearing aids, your hearing aid technician will teach you how to properly clean your devices.
Hearing aid accessories like cleaning tools, cleaning kits, wax guards, wax filters and dehumidifiers are a good way to ensure your devices are getting proper care every day.
Along with daily cleanings, some components of your hearing aids—tubing, wax guards, filters and batteries, for example—will need to be changed from time to time. It’s important to keep clean, properly functioning parts handy and keep up with all replacements when parts wear out.

Hearing Aid Servicing
Along with at-home care, you will need to see your Columbine Hearing Care provider for hearing aid servicing every 3–6 months. During these appointments, we will professionally clean, adjust and check your hearing aids to ensure they’re performing their best. You can also get help with programming adjustments when you visit our audiology office for service.
Redux Cleaning System in Littleton, CO
We are thrilled to offer the Redux hearing aid drying system in Littleton, CO.
Every maintenance appointment will now include professional moisture removal with Redux. Despite our dry climate, moisture can still build up inside hearing aids causing them to sound weak, noisy, or unclear.
Standard hearing aid dryers are not able to remove all of the moisture, so we have invested in premium moisture removal technology with Redux. You’ll be shocked to hear the improvement in hearing aid sound quality after each Redux treatment.

Hearing Aid Repairs
Even with the best care, your hearing aids may occasionally malfunction. Many common problems can be resolved at home, such as when your hearing aid isn’t producing sound, is relaying weak or distorted sound or is delivering whistling noises or feedback. In these cases, try these steps first:
- Reinsert the device in your ear
- Check to see if the battery is correctly inserted
- Replace the battery, wax guard or tubing
- Clean earwax from the device
- Clean the battery, battery compartment and battery contacts
- Turn down the volume
- Ensure the device is set to “microphone”
If none of these troubleshooting tips work, you may need to visit your audiologist for a hearing aid repair appointment.
