Hearing aid servicing and accessories at Prism, Viman Nagar, Pune

Keep your hearing aids working their best

Hearing aids work hard every day in warm, humid, waxy conditions, so they need occasional care to keep performing. Whether it’s a quick clean and re-tube or a more involved repair, we’ll find the fault, explain it honestly and tell you the most sensible option.

We service hearing aids from all major brands, including those bought elsewhere.

Many people in Pune call it a hearing aid machine, and look for a hearing aid machine service centre, or a repair centre near them, when it stops working. Whatever you call yours, it needs regular cleaning, the right settings and help when something goes wrong.

What we do

Repairs, servicing & accessories

Cleaning & maintenance

Professional cleaning, wax removal and moisture control to restore sound quality and prevent breakdowns. Invisible in-ear hearing aids sit deep in the canal, so their wax guards need regular changes.

Re-tubing & ear moulds

New tubing for BTE aids and fresh custom ear moulds for a secure, comfortable, leak-free fit.

Troubleshooting & repair

Fault-finding and repair of weak, distorted or dead hearing aids, with manufacturer service where needed.

Reprogramming & fine-tuning

Re-adjusting your hearing aids to your latest hearing test for the clearest, most comfortable sound.

Batteries & accessories

Genuine hearing-aid batteries, domes, filters and cleaning kits, and chargers for rechargeable hearing aids, in clinic or delivered.

All brands serviced

Signia, Phonak, ReSound, Widex, Oticon, Audio Service and more, including devices bought elsewhere.

When to bring it in

Signs your hearing aid needs a service or repair

  • No sound, or much weaker sound than usual.
  • Whistling, even when the aid is in properly.
  • Crackling, distortion, or sound that cuts in and out.
  • Batteries running down unusually fast, or a rechargeable aid that no longer lasts the day.
  • A cracked case, a hard or split tube, or a loose dome.
  • Soreness or a poor fit from the ear mould or dome.

Before you visit, try a fresh battery or a full charge, and check the dome, wax filter and tube for wax or moisture, a common culprit in the monsoon. Still not right? Bring it in.

Costs, explained

What decides hearing aid repair cost

A fair price depends on what is actually wrong, so we check the aid before we quote. What decides the cost:

  • The fault. A blocked wax filter, dome or tube is a small job. A failed receiver, microphone or circuit needs new parts, and sometimes the manufacturer.
  • Warranty. Repairs within warranty use genuine parts, with authorised servicing for all six brands: Signia, Phonak, ReSound, Widex, Oticon and Audio Service.
  • The style and age of the aid. Custom in-ear shells, receivers and ear moulds each need different parts, and parts for older models can be harder to find.

Repair or replace?

If an older aid keeps needing repairs, a newer one may make more sense. We will tell you honestly, and only recommend a replacement if it’s genuinely needed. To compare new options, see our page on hearing aids in Pune, and try one at home first with our free home trial.

Worth knowing

Is it the hearing aid, or your hearing?

Sometimes the aid works perfectly and the change is in the ear: earwax can block the canal, or hearing can change over time. Because Prism is a full ear and hearing clinic, our audiologists can examine your ears, test your hearing and re-adjust the aid to match.

See a doctor promptly if

  • Your hearing drops suddenly, even though the aid works, or a new hearing loss appears in one ear.
  • There is ear pain, discharge or bleeding.
  • You feel dizzy, or the room spins, with a change in hearing.
  • Your hearing changed after a head injury.

See a doctor or an ENT specialist promptly for these, and don’t put anything in the ear before it has been examined. If hearing loss comes with a drooping face, weakness or slurred speech, go to a hospital emergency department now. Our guide explains what to do if your ear suddenly sounds muffled.

Questions

Repair & service FAQs

How much does it cost to repair a hearing aid?
It depends on what is wrong. Cleaning, a new tube or a fresh wax filter is a small job, while a failed receiver, microphone or circuit needs new parts and sometimes a manufacturer repair. Warranty and the style of the aid also matter. We check the aid first and tell you the cost before any work starts.
My hearing aid has stopped working. Can it be fixed?
Often, yes. Many hearing aids that seem dead just need cleaning, a new tube, a fresh wax filter or a battery contact repair. We check it first and only recommend a manufacturer repair or replacement if it’s genuinely needed.
How long do hearing aid repairs take?
Simple cleaning, re-tubing and servicing are often done the same day. Repairs that need to go to the manufacturer take longer, and we give you a clear timeline upfront.
Do you repair hearing aids bought from elsewhere?
Yes. We service and repair hearing aids from all major brands, even if you didn’t buy them from us. Bring it in and we’ll assess it.
Can you repair hearing loss?
It depends on the cause, which an examination and a hearing test show. Hearing loss from a blockage such as earwax, or from a middle-ear problem, can often be treated by a doctor. Permanent loss in the inner ear, such as age-related or noise-related loss, can’t currently be repaired, because the inner ear’s sensory cells don’t grow back, but hearing aids can help many people hear and follow conversation better. If hearing drops suddenly, see a doctor or an ENT specialist promptly.
What is the 60-60 rule for hearing loss?
It is a simple habit for protecting your hearing with earphones or headphones: listen at no more than 60% of the maximum volume, for no more than 60 minutes at a time, then give your ears a break. It protects the hearing you have rather than repairing hearing loss. Our guide to noise-induced hearing loss explains more.
