If the hearing aid whistles continuously, it could be because:
•Your ear is blocked by earwax. Contact your ENT doctor/physician.
•The tubing is broken. Contact your hearing health- care provider to have the tubing replaced.
•The tubing is yellow and stiff. Contact your hearing healthcare provider to have the tubing replaced.
•The tubing often comes off the earmold or hearing aid hook. Contact your hearing healthcare provider to have the tubing replaced.
•The hook or elbow is cracked. Contact your hearing healthcare professional.
•The earmold is not correctly placed in your ear canal. Take the earmold out and reinsert it. It is important that the earmold is placed correctly in your ear ca- nal.
•The earmold fit is too loose. Contact your hearing healthcare professional.
If the hearing aid performs intermittently, it could be because:
•The on/off switch is dirty. Push the switch back and forth a couple of times.
