Why Do Hearing Aids Malfunction?
Earwax (Cerumen): The #1 cause of device failure. Wax blocks sound outlet ports and corrodes sensitive microphones.
Moisture & Perspiration: Humidity and sweat lead to internal electrical shorts.
Battery Degradation: We specialize in Lithium-Ion hearing aid battery replacement for modern rechargeable models.
Wear & Tear: Over time, receivers (speakers) and earmolds naturally degrade.
Why Choose HearSource Over a Local Provider?
Skip the Retail Markup: Most local offices are “middlemen” who mail your aids to labs like ours and add a $200–$300 markup.
Direct-to-Technician Service: You deal directly with the experts fixing your device.
All-Make Versatility: We repair brands from the “Big Five” manufacturers, including Widex, Signia, ReSound, Phonak, and Starkey, and others.
Legacy Support: We fix “obsolete” models that local shops refuse to touch.
Instructions for Shipping Your Hearing Aid Repairs to Us
- Package Safely: When shipping hearing aids to our repair lab, use a crush-proof container (like a pill bottle). Then, place the crush-proof container in a sturdy shipping box for shipping to us. DO NOT JUST PUT IN AN ENVELOPE FOR SHIPPING.
- Include a Note: Describe the issue (e.g., “Dead,” “Whistling,” “Replace rechargeable battery,” “Static,” etc.).

We fix broken hearing aids!
Skip the middleman and save on professional hearing aid repairs. While many believe they must use a “provider near me,” most local offices simply mail devices to a hearing aid repair lab like HearSource. By working directly with us, you get the same expert service at a fraction of the cost.
Our factory-trained technicians have over 30 years of experience performing repairs on all makes of hearing aids, including internal component replacement and shell or case reconstruction. We provide affordable, reliable solutions for all brands and models, delivered directly to your door.
Like any precision electronic device, hearing aids are subject to physical wear and tear. Components such as microphones, receivers (speakers), ear hooks, and volume dials can fail over time due to daily use or accidental damage. While many manufacturers stop supporting devices after five years, HearSource specializes in extending the life of your technology.
If your device is out of warranty, you don’t have to replace it. We maintain an extensive inventory of OEM and high-quality equivalent parts, allowing our technicians to perform all-make hearing aid repairs on nearly any brand, regardless of age. Whether your device has suffered from internal corrosion or a cracked shell, we provide a reliable, factory-quality alternative to expensive replacements.
Important Information Regarding Your Hearing Aid Repair & Sound Settings
When HearSource performs a professional hearing aid repair, we replace defective internal components, such as microphones and receivers (speakers), to restore your device to “like-new” condition.
You may notice a significant increase in volume after the repair. This is common because local providers often increase the gain (volume) over time to compensate for failing parts. Because we do not have your personal audiological data, we cannot reprogram the device to your specific hearing loss profile.
If your repaired hearing aid is too loud or experiences feedback (whistling), you may need a professional sound adjustment. We recommend visiting a local provider for these fine-tuning services to ensure your comfort.
Why Hearing Aids Fail
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Hearing Aid Battery Replacement
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology is the gold standard for rechargeable hearing aids. If your device lacks a traditional battery door, it likely utilizes a built-in lithium-ion power cell. These high-capacity batteries require only 3-4 hours for a full charge, providing reliable power for an entire day of use.
If your device is failing to hold a charge or dying prematurely, you may need a professional hearing aid battery replacement.
At HearSource, our technicians specialize in lithium-ion battery repairs for most major hearing aid brands, restoring your device to peak performance.
Earwax
Why Earwax is the #1 Cause of Hearing Aid Failure
The most frequent reason for hearing aid malfunction is the accumulation of earwax (cerumen). While earwax is a natural and healthy substance designed to clean the ear canal of debris, it can be detrimental to delicate electronics.
When you wear a hearing aid, it physically blocks the ear canal’s natural self-cleaning process. Instead of migrating out, earwax becomes trapped and can migrate into the hearing aid receiver or microphone. This leads to muffled sound, distortion, or a completely dead device. Understanding this “contamination” is the first step in preventing costly hearing aid repairs.
Earwax Solution
Essential Hearing Aid Maintenance: How to Prevent Earwax Damage
The most effective way to extend the life of your device is through consistent hearing aid cleaning. To prevent internal damage, focus on keeping your hearing aid receivers (speakers) clean and dry. While many manufacturers include a small cleaning tool, a soft-bristled toothbrush often provides a better grip and more effective debris removal.
The Best Time to Clean Your Hearing Aids
Timing is everything. Fresh earwax is often soft and can “smear” into the delicate ports of your device if cleaned immediately. Like dried mud, earwax is much easier to remove once it has hardened. We recommend brushing your hearing aids in the morning after the wax has dried overnight. This ensures the debris flakes off easily without being pushed deeper into the components.
Maintaining Wax Guards and Filters
Modern devices feature integrated hearing aid wax guards or filters. These should be brushed daily and replaced periodically to maintain optimal sound quality. For brand-specific replacements, you can find a full selection of hearing aid accessories at HearSource.
Moisture
How Moisture and Perspiration Affect Hearing Aid Performance
Moisture is a leading cause of electronic failure, and hearing aids are especially vulnerable. Because the human body is approximately 50-60% water, wearing a device in close contact with the skin exposes it to constant heat, humidity, and sweat.
Exposure to these elements—along with body chemicals and oils—can lead to internal corrosion and electrical shorts. Maintaining clean and dry hearing aids is vital for long-term reliability. To avoid permanent moisture damage, it is essential to use proactive drying solutions and regular maintenance.
Waterproof Hearing Aids
Currently, no manufacturer produces any hearing aid that they claim to be waterproof, although most modern hearing aids are moisture-resistant.
Moisture Solution
How to Protect Your Hearing Aids from Water Damage
Maintaining dry hearing aids is the most effective way to prevent costly electronic failure. While most modern devices are rated as water-resistant, it is important to remember that they are not waterproof.
To ensure longevity, always wipe away perspiration after outdoor activities and avoid wearing your devices during heavy exercise. Never wear your hearing aids while swimming, showering, or using a hot tub. If you accidentally wear them into the shower, follow these emergency hearing aid care steps:
Remove the device and the battery immediately.
Wipe them down thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Allow them to air dry (ideally overnight) before testing with a fresh battery.
To further protect your investment, we recommend using a hearing aid drying accessory. These are available in two main categories: Active Dryers (using heat or fans) and Passive Dryers (using desiccants).
Some ideas for preventing hearing aid repairs:
Affordable Moisture Protection: Passive Hearing Aid Dryers
Passive hearing aid dryers are the most cost-effective solution for daily moisture removal. These systems typically consist of a sealed glass jar or plastic container paired with a high-efficiency desiccant (moisture-absorbing material).
By placing your devices inside the airtight container overnight, the desiccant safely draws damaging humidity and condensation out of the internal circuitry. This simple, non-electric hearing aid dehumidifier is an essential tool for extending the life of your hearing aids on a budget.
High-Performance Active Hearing Aid Drying Systems
For superior protection against moisture, active hearing aid dryers offer a multi-stage cleaning and drying process. Unlike passive containers, these electronic systems utilize a combination of forced-air fans, regulated heat, and powerful UV-C lights to sanitize and dehydrate your devices.
By actively circulating warm air and neutralizing bacteria, these systems prevent internal corrosion and skin irritation. Investing in an electronic hearing aid dehumidifier is one of the most effective ways to maximize the functional life and reliability of your hearing technology.
Additional Tips for Extending Hearing Aid Longevity
Beyond daily cleaning and moisture control, proper handling is key to reducing the need for professional repairs. To keep your devices in peak condition, follow these expert handling tips:
Avoid Physical Trauma: Hearing aids are highly calibrated instruments. Handle them over a soft surface and avoid dropping them on hard floors.
Pet and Child Safety: Pets—especially dogs—are attracted to the scent of earwax and may chew on your devices. Store your hearing aids in a secure, closed drawer or a high shelf out of reach of pets and children.
Climate Control: Extreme temperatures can damage sensitive processors. Never leave your hearing aids in a hot car or near a cold window; store them at room temperature.
Chemical Protection: Always apply hairspray, cologne, sunscreen, or makeup before putting in your hearing aids. Aerosols and chemicals can clog microphones and corrode internal switches.
The History of HearSource: 30 Years of Hearing Aid Repair Expertise
Hearing aid repairs are the foundation of HearSource. Our journey began over three decades ago when our founders acquired an established repair laboratory in Providence, RI, and relocated the entire operation—technicians, families, and specialized equipment—to our current home in Bainbridge, Indiana.
Evolving with Hearing Technology
Experience is irreplaceable in the hearing industry. We started in the era of analog devices and have evolved alongside the industry through the transition to digitally programmable aids and today’s advanced, completely digital hearing aids. Because we’ve maintained our original specialized equipment and knowledge, HearSource remains one of the few labs capable of performing legacy hearing aid repairs on even the most antiquated devices.
Expertise Across All Major Hearing Aid Manufacturers
The industry has consolidated significantly over the years. Today, while there are dozens of brand names and “big box” private labels, most devices originate from the “Big Five” hearing aid manufacturers. Our technicians are factory-trained to service all brands, ensuring that no matter the name on the shell, we have the competence to restore your hearing.
Over the last 30 years, we have seen many hearing aid repair labs come and go. As far as we know, we were one of, if not the first, all-make hearing aid repair lab to open our business and its services directly to the public. Before HearSource, almost all hearing aid repairs were accomplished through a local retail dealer, who would send your repair to a “wholesale only” lab.
After the wholesale lab repairs your hearing aid, they will send it back to your local office, where you can pick it up. If the hearing aid could not be repaired, that business model allowed the local dealer to try to sell you new hearing aids. That additional layer of service and administration drove up the cost of hearing aid repairs, sometimes to over $500 each.
HearSource Hearing Aid Repair Labs is founded on the principle of providing the highest level of competency and customer service in the hearing care industry. Utilizing HearSource for your hearing aid repair service will save you time and money. You, the consumer, deal directly with the people repairing your hearing aids.
