Why is my hearing aid not working properly?
Check that you haven’t activated the loop setting, and if you have, switch back to the normal microphone setting. Most common hearing aid problems can be solved by refitting your ear mold, checking for wax or moisture, inspecting the tubing for blockage or damage, and replacing the battery in your hearing aid.

How do you test if hearing aid is working?
Make sure that your hearing aids are turned on, and the batteries are correctly placed. Your hearing aid usually turns on once the battery doors are closed; if you have trouble closing them, it means the battery is placed upside down. Try removing the battery, flipping it out, and reinserting it correctly.
How do you stop a hearing aid from beeping?

What does it mean when my hearing aid beeps 3 times?
