Extended warranties are also available for an additional charge. If your hearing aid's manufacturer does not provide for loss and damage in the warranty, you may be able to buy hearing aid insurance. After the manufacturer's warranty has expired, repair charges are the responsibility of the hearing aid owner. For most hearing aid repairs there is a standard charge that covers repair on the circuitry or electrical components. A warranty should be offered on any repairs that are made.
Most dispensers have the ability to provide some in-house repairs.
The repairs they cannot do themselves can be sent to the manufacturer or a company that repairs hearing aids. Some dispensers have a stock of used hearing aids from which they can choose a loaner hearing aid for you while yours is being repaired. The loaner hearing aid probably will not be the same make and model as your hearing aid . During a fitting and orientation appointment the hearing aid user and family should receive information about the use and care of hearing aids. The hearing aid user should receive instruction and practice putting on and taking off the hearing aid, adjusting the volume control, and inserting and removing the battery.
