The most common hearing aid issues include battery problems, moisture damage, earwax blockages, and sound quality deterioration. Physical damage from drops or impacts, microphone malfunctions, and feedback issues are also frequent problems that require professional repair services. In humid climates like Florida, moisture-related damage is particularly common and can cause intermittent sound issues or complete device failure. Regular maintenance and professional cleaning can prevent many of these problems from developing into more serious repairs.
