Are you aware of the importance of hearing aid servicing?

Whilst it is a common practice to treat hearing impairments with hearing aids, unfortunately it is not as common to maintain the hearing aids properly with timely servicing. Sense of hearing is highly individual and requires customized hearing aid fittings and regular update of device settings. Hearing aid servicing also must be done concurrently in regular intervals.

Most of the hearing aid users seek hearing aid servicing only after a device malfunction is noticed. These are small electronic devices which require proper servicing to ensure optimal function. When hearing aids are regularly serviced, more often than not the defects are avoided and repair costs are zeroed.

It is very important to follow the hearing aid maintenance guidelines provided by your hearing care professional. You are entitled to have your hearing aids serviced by your hearing care provider. Therefore make sure to have the entitled aftercare of hearing aids once you purchase a device.

Audiologists agree worldwide that hearing aids should at least be serviced once every three months. This is justified by the possibility of preventing hearing aids from getting blocked by dust and ear wax and damages incurred by drops, water and sweat. Servicing also ensures early detection of impending circuit corrosions and other preventable defects.

Please convey the importance of regular hearing aid servicing to hearing aid users. Remember its vital role in longer device lifetime and proper function.
