How to make my Starkey Hearing Aid louder?

  Victoria ColeAug 18, 2025
  If your Starkey Hearing Aid isn't loud enough, it could be due to several reasons. First, try replacing the battery. If that doesn't work, check for blockages in the earmold, tubing, or earbud and clean or replace the wax guard. Also, debris buildup can affect performance, so clean both the microphone and receiver with a brush. If the problem persists, it may be due to a hearing change, in which case you should contact your hearing care professional.

If that doesn't solve the issue, check for any blockages in the earmold or tubing and clean or replace the wax guard as needed. If the hearing aid still doesn't work, the tubing might be crimped, and you should contact your hearing care professional.

  There are several reasons why your Starkey Hearing Aid may not be loud enough. It could be due to a low battery, so try replacing it. Another possibility is a blocked earmold, tubing, or earbud, in which case you should clean or replace the Wax Guard. Debris buildup on the microphone and receiver can also cause this issue, so clean them with a brush. If none of these solutions work, it could be due to a hearing change, and you should contact your hearing care professional.
