Hearing aids are marvelous technological instruments.  Contained within their small frames are among the most sophisticated pieces of continuously functioning sound technology created to date.  Even with the best of efforts and care, these wondrous little gadget do end up needing repairs from time to time.  Perhaps you are experiencing one of the following:

• you hear a whistling noise or excess feedback
• their is visible damage to the hearing aid, such as cracks or holes
• the tubes or wires of certain behind the ear styles are worn or damaged
