Weak or poor audio with Nexus

If your Nexus hearing aid is producing weak or poor audio, here’s a guide to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:


1. Is the Volume Set Correctly?

  • Check the volume control on your hearing aid.
  • Increase the volume and test the audio.

2. Is the Battery Low or Weak?

  • A low or weak battery can cause poor audio performance.
  • Replace the battery with a new one to see if the issue improves.

3. Is the Ear Tip or Dome Blocked?

  • Check for earwax or debris in the ear tip or dome.
  • Remove the tip and clean it using the tools provided in your cleaning kit.
  • Replace the tip if it’s damaged or excessively dirty.

4. Is the Sound Tube Clear?

  • Inspect the sound tube for blockages caused by earwax or condensation.
  • Use a cleaning wire or air puffer to clear the tube.
  • Replace the tube if it is cracked or bent.

5. Are the Microphones Blocked?

  • Examine the microphone ports for dust, dirt, or wax.
  • Use a soft brush or clean, dry cloth to gently clean around the microphone openings.

6. Is the Hearing Aid Program Correct?

  • Press and hold the program button (if available) to switch to the Normal mode.
  • Listen for a beep to confirm the mode change.

7. Are You in a Challenging Environment?

  • Weak audio may result from noisy or high-pitched environments where the hearing aid struggles to differentiate sounds.
  • Try switching to the Restaurant or Outdoor program for better clarity.

8. Has the Device Been Exposed to Moisture?

  • Moisture can impair sound quality. Dry the hearing aid using:
    • A hearing aid dehumidifier.
    • A sealed container with silica gel packs.
  • Avoid exposing your device to water or high humidity.

9. Is the Hearing Aid Properly Fitted?

  • Ensure the hearing aid and ear tip are securely in place.
  • Loose fittings can reduce audio clarity and volume.

10. Are There Internal or Physical Damages?

  • Inspect the hearing aid for visible cracks or damage to the tubing or casing.
  • Internal components might be malfunctioning if no physical damage is apparent.
