Fast, Expert Hearing Aid Repairs in Birmingham & Sutton Coldfield

When a hearing aid stops working, everyday life gets harder overnight – conversations, phone calls and the TV all suffer. Our hearing aid repair service is designed to get you hearing clearly again as quickly as possible. Book a same-day appointment and an HCPC-registered audiologist will find the fault and, in many cases, fix it while you wait.

As an independent practice we are not tied to any one manufacturer, so we repair hearing aids bought from us, from high-street chains, online or from another independent – in or out of warranty. Repairs are carried out at our two hearing centres: Birmingham Hearing Care in Kings Heath and Sutton Hearing Care in Sutton Coldfield.

Need more than a repair? We also provide hearing tests and private hearing aids in Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, plus professional ear wax removal – often the hidden cause of a whistling or blocked-sounding hearing aid.

How Much Does Hearing Aid Repair Cost?

One clear, fixed price – whatever the make, model or fault.

No hidden fees
£200per hearing aid

The same fixed price whether we repair your hearing aid in clinic or send it to the manufacturer's repair lab.

Every repair includes

  • Fault diagnosis by an HCPC-registered audiologist
  • A professional clean of the microphone ports, receiver, filters and charging or battery contacts
  • New domes, wax filters or tubing where needed
  • Repair or part replacement – in clinic or via the manufacturer's repair lab, which we arrange for you
  • A final performance check before you take it home
  • A 6-month warranty on the repair

Is ear wax causing the problem? Wax build-up is one of the most common reasons a hearing aid whistles or sounds blocked. Our ear wax removal costs £50 for one ear or £70 for both – see ear wax removal in Birmingham.

Price is per hearing aid. Some very old models are no longer supported by their manufacturer – if parts aren't available, we'll explain your options before any work starts.

Faults we fix

Common Hearing Aid Problems We Repair

Whatever the symptom, the same fixed £200 repair fee applies. Curious how the parts fit together? Read our guide to hearing aid components.

No sound or a dead hearing aid

Usually a blocked wax filter, a failed receiver (speaker) or a power fault. We trace the cause and put it right.

Whistling or feedback

Often a loose or worn dome, a cracked tube or shell, ear wax, or settings that need adjusting.

Weak, muffled or crackling sound

Blocked microphone ports, moisture or a tired receiver can make speech sound dull, distorted or cut in and out.

Won't charge or the battery drains fast

Charging faults on rechargeable models – from dirty contacts and charger problems to batteries that no longer hold their charge.

Bluetooth or app won't connect

Pairing problems with phones, TVs and streamers. We reset, re-pair and update firmware where the manufacturer allows.

Broken receiver wire or speaker

On receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids, the thin wire and speaker are the parts most likely to fail. We can usually replace them in clinic.

Cracked casing, battery door or shell

Damage from drops, pets or being stepped on – repaired in clinic or rebuilt by the manufacturer.

Blocked tubing, domes or wax filters

Behind-the-ear (BTE) tubing hardens and splits over time, and filters clog. We replace them as part of every repair.

Moisture or sweat damage

Moisture is one of the biggest causes of hearing aid failure. We dry, clean and test the aid and replace damaged parts.

How it works

How Our Same-Day Hearing Aid Repair Service Works

  1. Book a same-day appointment

    Call 0121 369 0780, message us on WhatsApp or book online. Both hearing centres are open Monday to Saturday.

  2. Diagnosis by an audiologist

    We inspect and test your hearing aid – and check your ears for wax if needed – to pinpoint the fault.

  3. Repair in clinic or at the manufacturer

    Many faults are fixed during your visit. If specialist lab work is needed, we send your aid to the manufacturer and manage everything for you.

  4. Final check and 6-month warranty

    We check your hearing aid is working properly before you take it home, and the repair is covered for 6 months.

Quick checks

Hearing Aid Not Working? 6 Quick Checks Before You Book

Some problems have a simple fix you can try at home. If these don't help, book a repair and we'll take it from there.

  1. Check the power. Rechargeable aids should sit firmly in the charger with clean, dry contacts. For battery models, fit a fresh battery, remove the tab and wait a minute before closing the door.
  2. Change the wax filter and dome. A clogged wax filter is one of the most common reasons a hearing aid goes quiet.
  3. Inspect the tubing (BTE aids). Look for moisture droplets, cracks or a hard, yellowed tube – any of these can block sound.
  4. Restart it. Switch the hearing aid off and on again (or put it back in the charger), then check the volume and programme in your app.
  5. Re-pair Bluetooth. Remove the hearing aids from your phone's Bluetooth or hearing device settings, restart the phone and pair again using the manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Check the fit. Push the dome or earmould fully into your ear. A loose fit or ear wax build-up is a common cause of whistling.

Why do hearing aids whistle?

Whistling – or acoustic feedback – happens when amplified sound escapes from your ear canal and is picked up again by the hearing aid's microphone, creating a loop. The usual culprits are a loose or wrong-sized dome, ear wax, a cracked tube or shell, or settings that need adjusting. If your hearing aid keeps whistling after you've reinserted it and fitted a new dome, it's time for a repair appointment.

When it's not your hearing aid

Sudden hearing loss in one or both ears needs urgent medical advice – contact your GP or NHS 111 the same day. See your GP too if you have ear pain, discharge or dizziness.

Repair or replace?

Should You Repair or Replace Your Hearing Aid?

Most hearing aids last around five to seven years. If yours is younger than that, still suits your hearing and parts are available, a repair is usually the best-value option. It may be time to consider an upgrade if:

  • your hearing aid is more than five to seven years old, or no longer supported by the manufacturer
  • it keeps developing faults, even after repairs
  • your hearing has changed and it no longer gives you enough benefit
  • you'd like newer features such as rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth streaming or clearer speech in noise

We'll give you honest advice either way. If an upgrade makes more sense, our audiologists can arrange a hearing assessment and hearing aid trial in Birmingham. You can also read our guide to rechargeable vs battery hearing aids.

Out of warranty? We can still help.

Manufacturer and high-street warranties usually run for a few years, and some providers stop servicing hearing aids once they expire. We repair out-of-warranty hearing aids of any make for the same fixed £200 fee – with a 6-month warranty on the repair.

FAQs

Hearing Aid Repair – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to repair a hearing aid?

Our hearing aid repair fee is a fixed £200 per hearing aid, for any make and any fault. It includes diagnosis, a full clean and service, the repair itself (in clinic or via the manufacturer's repair lab) and a 6-month warranty on the repair.

Can my hearing aid be repaired?

Most faults can be repaired – from blocked filters and failed receivers to charging faults and cracked casings. Very old models may no longer be supported by the manufacturer; if parts aren't available, we'll explain your options before any work starts.

Do you repair hearing aids bought elsewhere or out of warranty?

Yes. We repair privately bought hearing aids of any make, wherever you bought them – a high-street chain, online or another independent – in or out of warranty. If your hearing aid is still under the original provider's warranty, check with them first, as the repair may be free.

How long does a hearing aid repair take?

We offer same-day appointments Monday to Saturday, and many faults are fixed during your visit. If your hearing aid needs to go to the manufacturer's repair lab, we'll tell you the expected turnaround before we send it.

Which hearing aid brands do you repair?

We repair all major brands, including Phonak, Oticon, Starkey, Signia, Widex, ReSound and Unitron, across RIC, BTE, ITE, ITC, CIC, IIC and CROS styles – both rechargeable and battery-powered models.

Can you repair NHS hearing aids?

NHS hearing aids are loaned to you and remain the property of the NHS, so repairs, retubing and batteries are provided free by your NHS audiology department. Our repair service is for privately owned hearing aids. If your NHS hearing aid is whistling or sounds blocked, ear wax may be the cause – our ear wax removal starts from £50.

Why is my hearing aid whistling?

Whistling (feedback) happens when amplified sound leaks out of your ear and is picked up again by the microphone. A loose or worn dome, ear wax, a cracked tube or shell, or settings that need adjusting are the usual causes. If it keeps whistling after you've reinserted it and changed the dome, book a repair.

Why has my hearing aid stopped working?

The most common causes are a blocked wax filter, a flat or faulty battery, moisture damage and a failed receiver (speaker). Try a new wax filter and a full charge or fresh battery first; if it still isn't working, we can diagnose and repair it.

Is there a warranty on hearing aid repairs?

Yes. Every hearing aid repair we carry out comes with a 6-month warranty on the repair.

Do I need an appointment for a hearing aid repair?

We recommend booking so an audiologist is ready for you, and same-day appointments are available Monday to Saturday. Call 0121 369 0780, message us on WhatsApp or book online.

Should I repair or replace my hearing aid?

If your hearing aid is under five years old and still suits your hearing, repairing it is usually the best value. If it's more than five to seven years old, keeps breaking down or your hearing has changed, an upgrade may serve you better – we'll give you honest advice either way.
