The hearing aid whistles
The hearing aid is not correctly placed in the ear
canal.
Take the hearing aid out and reinsert it. It is im-
portant that the hearing aid fits snugly in the ear
canal without pressing uncomfortably anywhere.
Your ear canal is blocked by earwax.
Contact your ENT doctor/physician to have your
ear canal cleaned.
The hearing aid shell fit may be too loose.
Contact your hearing healthcare professional to
have the physical fit of the hearing aid evaluated.
The hearing aid is uncomfortable to wear
Your outer ear or ear canal is sore.
For first-time users it is important not to wear
the hearing aid for too long at the beginning. The
skin in the ear canal is very thin and may swell a
little because of the pressure from the hearing
aid. Take 2-3 weeks to get used to the hearing aid.
If the soreness continues, please contact your
hearing healthcare professional for further ad-
vice.
The hearing aid shell has a poor physical fit and
this can be the reason for irritation in the ear
canal.
Contact your hearing healthcare professional to
have the physical fit of the hearing aid evaluat-
ed.
