Common Problems When First Using Your Hearing Aids

Why is there no sound coming from the hearing aid?

  • Be sure the hearing aid is fully charged.
  • Make sure the hearing is turned on to the "N" position. 
  • Make sure you have removed any ear wax from your ear canal.
  • Be sure there is nothing blocking the microphone on the front of the hearing aid.
  • Be sure there is nothing blocking the sound outlet (where the earbud is placed).

Why is there a screeching or howling sound coming from the hearing aid?

  • This is a normal sound that comes from hearing aids prior to being placed into the ear canal.
  • If the hearing aid still screeches while in the ear canal, you may need to try a different size earbud. When properly fitted you should not hear screeching when in the ear.
