[NFB-DB] Left hearing aid sometimes sounds with static what might it be?

[Danielle Burton]

Hi, this is Danielle. I'd go to your audiologist for help. Something you might need to consider is you've had them since at least 2010. This means they are rather old so to speak. Technology and hearing aids don't last forever. I would say either the audiologist can fix it, or it may need repair or you may just need new aids. But, I'd go check with an audiologist as there's not much any of us can really do when they act up like that.

It's of the Starkey brand, and I've had these since I think since 2009 or 2010. Since a few weeks ago, my left hearing aid, sounds like static, as I like to say so that people can understand, I hear like an old maltuned FM radio with static. Weirder still is that sometimes either after a few hours of fiddling with it, or it can sometimes last a few days hearing with static, it fixes itself! I took it to give it its monthly maintaince cleaning, but it didn't help at all; it still have good and bad days. Also, when I went to the audiologist, can you'll believe they didn't have a loner one? and the one I took along previously-used, no longer works! so I couldn't leave it to be sent off to repairs. So what do you guys think it's wrong? If it's something to do with the microphone, is it worthwhile to repair it, or would i be better of buying or seeing how i can buy another pair? I say another pair because even though the right one works perfectly well, I'd hear weird having one of each model! Thanks for info.
