How to Stop Your Hearing Aid from Whistling

Is your hearing aid making an unusual whistling sound or producing feedback? Then it could be a sign of an issue with your device.
As a hearing aid wearer, you understand the importance of regular maintenance and check-ups with your audiologist. Not only does it keep your device and hearing in top health, but it also allows us to look out for any manufacturer issues or changes in your hearing.
During these appointments, we often get reports from patients who have noticed an unusual whistling sound from their devices. So, if you’ve suddenly noticed a change in your hearing aid’s performance, you’re not alone.
In fact, an unwanted screeching or chirping is one of the most common issues reported to us at Aim Hearing and Audiology Services. The good news is that there are plenty of things you can do to completely remove it and get your hearing aid back to brand new.
During this short video, I will be explaining all things you should consider if you’re in this situation.
If you have any questions, want guidance, or simply want to know more about your device, then you can get in touch with a member of our team at [phone].

Thanks for the info just about to go on holiday on a Sunday so audiology closed.

Very sensible and sane advice. The only thing I would add is to ensure you’re actually using the correct diameter tube (for Classic Ear Mould). Otherwise leakage will occur.

I just got a new set of Truhearing (Signia) TH 6 RIC LI T aids about 2 months ago with domes and thinking about switching over to custom molds as per your videos! I get a lot of random squeaks with my domes! I also listen to a lot of music (streaming into my aids) and would like to hear more low ends. I am concerned about wax buildup because I get some now but the tip of the dome seems to help protect the receiver from the wax. In the custom molds (from what I see) the receiver is out in the open with no protection! Won't that be a problem for more wax buildup on it?

Hi! I wear Phonak Naida Q70UP btes. My ski-slope loss is severe/profound. I've found that if I leave my HAs' volume right in the middle, they amplify ambient sounds and I get ebbing feedback, BUT if I turn them all the way up, things sound, "fuller," and not so, "underwater-y", and I do not get anywhere near the amount of feedback. What could be causing this?? Thanks!

How come you didn't show us your hearing aid. If you really did wear one?
