Hearing aids tend to require more professional maintenance than other electronic equipment. Internal moisture and ear wax buildup occurs
inside the hearing aid microphones, receivers, and vent ports causing your hearing aids to perform poorly and causes degeneration of the
hearing aid circuitry that can lead to costly repairs. Problems such as these can be avoided by having your hearing aids professionally cleaned and serviced on a regular basis by our Akron area Audiologist at Audiphone Company of Akron. We utilize state of the art equipment to professionally service and clean your hearing aids. Even if you are cleaning your hearing aids daily, they need professional attention from time to time.
Professional Cleaning Includes:
- Our Audiologist will use bright magnification to look deep into your hearing aid to see what you cannot see at home.
- Remove wax that can migrate into the receiver.
- Clear wax and debris from the vent and microphone on the faceplate.
- Clean grime from the faceplate and volume control.
- We will check the battery level and clean the battery contacts for optimum battery life.
- Internal moisture inside your hearing aids will be removed by placing your hearing aids in a atmospheric pressure reduction chamber.
- Your hearing aids will be examined with an electronic testing device.
- If necessary, your hearing aids will be buffed and polished to give your hearing aids a like new appearance.
Hearing aids and earmolds need regular cleaning to keep them in top working condition. Earmolds and tubing must be kept free of wax and debris to ensure optimal hearing results and to help avoid costly repairs.
