One of the primary challenges with hearing aids is that they are delicate and expensive. This combination leads to people often asking – can I self fix my hearing aid. Or, is there a hearing aid that can self fix itself.
At this point, there is no great answer to these questions. Although it is expensive and can be frustrating, we recommend going to a professional to fix your hearing aid. There are no hearing aids that can fix themselves at this point.
We are certainly pushing and hoping that the hearing aid industry will continue to work on durability of hearing aids so they will require less fixing. At the same time, we are pushing for companies to find ways to improve the battery life of the hearing aids. For now, there is no perfect answer to any of these issues. We hope there will be better answers in the next 10 years.
