Common Hearing Aid Problems We Fix
Sound Quality Issues and Feedback
Many Lockhart residents visit us when their hearing aids produce whistling, static, or distorted sounds.
These issues often stem from earwax buildup, damaged microphones, or programming problems.
Our audiologists use advanced diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause. Unlike generic repair shops, we understand how each manufacturer’s technology works differently.
This expertise means we can often resolve sound quality issues during your appointment, minimizing time without your essential hearing devices.
Physical Damage and Component Failures
Texas heat and humidity can take a toll on hearing aids, causing battery compartment corrosion, cracked casings, or moisture damage.
Our Lockhart clinic handles everything from simple battery door replacements to complex internal repairs.
We stock common replacement parts for major brands including Phonak, ReSound, Signia, and Starkey.
When components need specialized attention, we coordinate manufacturer repairs while providing guidance throughout the process.
Many patients are surprised to learn that devices they thought were beyond saving can be restored to full functionality.

Sometimes hearing aids work mechanically but don’t sound right.
Changes in your hearing, accidental setting adjustments, or software glitches can affect performance.
