Our Consignment Store
Yes, the tips or domes at the end of the receivers or tubing are new. Additionally, we provide a small free assortment of tips/domes with the hearing aid receiver or tubing.

Hearing Aid Repair Service – Online Mail In Repairs
Upon receiving your hearing aid, we conduct a meticulous inspection, checking for visible issues and cleaning the device to remove wax, debris, and moisture. We also verify the serial number to determine if the device is under manufacturer warranty.
We value your input. When filling out the repair request form, provide detailed information about the problems you’re facing with your hearing aid. This helps us tailor our approach to address your specific concerns.
Objective Testing involves using a test box to assess the performance of hearing aids still producing sound. This step allows us to identify issues not immediately apparent, ensuring a comprehensive diagnosis. The test box helps evaluate amplification, distortion, battery drain, attack and release times, microphone health, and overall output.
Technical Hearing Aid Check – Electroacoustic Analysis
While our in-house lab can handle many repairs, for more complex issues, we collaborate with a specialized lab in Hopkins, MN. This partnership allows us to address a broader range of problems, ensuring your hearing aids receive the best possible care.
Yes, common issues such as wax blockage, microphone debris, and moisture damage are addressed during the repair process. If a new part is needed, we cover costs for components under $50. For more expensive parts, additional costs may be included in the overall repair expenses.
We maintain transparent communication throughout the repair process. If your device needs to be sent to the manufacturer, we’ll notify you of potential extra costs. The decision to proceed with additional expenses rests with you, and if you choose otherwise, we’ll return the hearing aid without repair and refund you minus $40 for the time invested.
In some instances, high repair costs may lead to exploring alternatives. We offer consignment hearing aids in working condition as a cost-effective solution. Repair warranties vary based on associated costs.
