We handle hearing aid repairs for every major brand, bought from us or not. Same-day turnaround is common at our Sioux Falls and Buffalo, MN clinics. Every repair comes with a new warranty, and loaners keep you hearing while you wait.
Hearing aid repairs should be simple, local, and quick. When a device quits, you want it fixed by people you trust nearby. Our hearing care providers handle repairs for patients across Sioux Falls and the region. You get honest answers, quick turnaround, and care that lasts beyond the fix.
Common Hearing Aid Repairs We Handle
Most hearing aid problems fall into a handful of familiar patterns. Our team sees these every week and fixes most of them fast.
- No sound or weak sound, often from a blocked receiver or a dead battery
- Whistling or feedback that will not settle down
- Domes that tear or slip, covered in our guide to choosing the right hearing aid domes
- Wax buildup blocking the device, sometimes paired with professional earwax removal
- Moisture damage from sweat, rain, or a hard winter
- Battery doors and switches that stick, loosen, or stop closing

|---|---|---|
| Cleaning, receiver swaps, tubing, dome and wax-guard changes
|
In our clinic | Often the same day |
| Component-level or
sealed-unit repairs |

Repair Warranties and Loaners
Every repair we complete comes with a fresh warranty. Devices under five years old get a full year. Older devices get six months. If your original warranty lapsed, we still repair the device and back the work.
A repair should never leave you in silence. When a fix runs long, we lend you a loaner so you stay connected. We will also walk you through your repair options and any costs before we begin.
Simple Maintenance That Prevents Repairs
A little daily care keeps most hearing aids working longer. These habits cut down on the problems we see most.
- Wipe each device nightly with a dry, soft cloth
- Dry the aids overnight with the battery door open or in the dock
- Keep them away from heat, hairspray, and moisture
- Store them in a dry case through a cold Minnesota winter
- Swap wax guards and domes on a regular schedule

How do I know if I need a repair or a replacement?
Our hearing care providers assess the device and your hearing together. Stanford Hearing tells you plainly when a repair fits and when replacement is smarter.

Absolutely. Stanford Hearing serves many patients who drive in from smaller towns nearby. Call ahead, and we will make the trip worth your while.
