Sound Hearing

Hearing aid feedback occurs for various reasons, but it's typically straightforward to fix. Common causes include physical contact, which happens when hearing aids touch an object like a phone, hat, scarf, or another person, creating a brief whistling sound that usually stops with a simple adjustment. Volume settings can also trigger feedback when set too high. If you often need to raise the volume considerably, your hearing aids may require adjustment to better suit your hearing requirements. An improper fit is another frequent cause of feedback. Removing and correctly reinserting the device often resolves the issue. If feedback persists, a professional fitting adjustment may be necessary to ensure proper comfort and performance. When feedback becomes a persistent issue, a hearing care professional can assess your hearing aids and make the appropriate adjustments to enhance their function.
