Here we’ve tried to answer as many of your questions as possible. But if there’s anything we’ve missed please get in touch with us.
Yes, we can repair old hearing aids that are out of warranty with the original manufacturer.
The turn around for most repairs is 2 - 3 working days. If we have to order parts it may take slightly longer.
Our standard repair charge is £88.95. If a repair is going to cost more than our standard repair charge, due to replacement parts being required, we will contact you with a quote. We won't go ahead with any work until you have given us the OK to do so.
If you decide not to go ahead with the repair, we will return your hearing aid to you at no extra cost.
Our standard repair comes with a 6 month warranty against component failure; excluding amplifiers, case and RIC units (unless the amplifier, case or RIC was repaired/replaced as part of your original repair), to give you complete peace of mind.
The HARS warranty doesn't cover damage due to; improper handling, accident, unauthorised repair, changes to ear physiology, fair wear and tear, solvents and aural secretions, loss or theft of the device, growth or the need for a new earmould, case, amplifier or RIC (unless the amplifier, case or RIC was repaired/replaced as part of your original repair).
There is no warranty on our clean, check and test service.
No. All our repairs are carried out by our team of highly skilled technicians, on-site at our lab. We're not a 'middle-man'.
Yes. We use original parts whenever possible. In older hearing aids the original parts can sometimes be discontinued, so in those instances we'll use the nearest equivalent part.
If your hearing aid is programmable/digital (not analogue) your hearing settings will be 'saved' in the aid and won't be affected by our repair. If your aid needs a new amplifier, we can normally transfer your settings to the new one. If this isn't possible we'll contact you before we do any work.
Print out and compete our Hearing Aid Repair Form. If you don't have a printer, simply write on a piece of paper your name, address, contact telephone number, email address and a description of the fault. You will need to do this even if you have bought your repair through our online store.
To avoid damage in the post, wrap your hearing aid in tissue paper, kitchen roll or bubble wrap, then package it in a strong box or container. Make sure your hearing aid isn't rattling around in the box/container, then insert your order form or written note before securely sealing your parcel.
