Why do hearing aids whistle in peoples ears?

A. This whistling is called feedback. Getting a snug fit in your ear canal is very important. Check to see if your hearing aid is inserted correctly or if the volume is turned too high. Also look for wax blocking the pathway of sound to the ear canal. If these solutions don’t work, come in and we will check it out with you. In BTE hearing aids, the ear mold tubing or earhook may need replacing. For any hearing aid style, the ear mold or shell may be too loose in the ear.
