Hearing Aid Maintenance in the GTA: Comprehensive Care, Repairs & Adjustments
Your hearing aids are more than just devices – they’re your connection to conversations, music, and the world around you.
At Bravo Hearing Centre, we provide complete hearing aid maintenance in the GTA, including cleaning, repairs, software updates, and fit adjustments. Our experienced team works from our Etobicoke and Mississauga clinics to keep your devices performing at their best, every day.
We look at how your hearing aids work in real-life situations, then make the fine-tuned changes needed to restore comfort and clarity. From routine maintenance to urgent hearing aid repair service, we’re your local partner for ongoing hearing aid support.
What is Hearing Aid Maintenance and Why Is It Important?
Hearing aid maintenance refers to the regular cleaning, tuning, testing, and component inspection needed to keep your devices working optimally. Like any piece of technology, hearing aids are vulnerable to dust, moisture, earwax buildup, and general wear. These seemingly small elements can have a big impact on your device’s performance, potentially causing distorted sound, feedback, battery drainage, or even total shutdown.
At Bravo Hearing Centre, we believe preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid these issues before they escalate. Every maintenance visit includes a detailed evaluation of your device’s condition and performance, followed by:
- Internal and external cleaning of microphones, receivers, tubing, and battery contacts
- Performance testing for clarity, volume balance, and distortion
- Inspection and replacement of tubing, domes, and wax guards
- Hearing aid tube replacement, if necessary
- Battery door and contact testing
- Software review and update, where applicable
- Hearing aid adjustments based on your feedback and lifestyle
- In-depth hearing aid troubleshooting if specific problems are reported
We also take time to educate you on proper home care practices and share tips for maximizing performance. Our clients often express relief after discovering how small adjustments or simple cleaning steps can dramatically improve their hearing clarity.
Routine maintenance is a simple way to:
- Prevent common failures and extend device life
- Reduce the need for emergency hearing aid repairs
- Maintain everyday comfort and clear sound
- Catch early signs of wear or damage before they worsen
Think of it like a check-up for your ears. If you’ve had your hearing aids for just a few months or for many years, regular maintenance remains essential. Learn more about our hearing aid services or contact us to set up a service appointment.

Hearing Aid Repair Services: Fast, Reliable, and In-Clinic
When your hearing aid stops working properly, every minute without it can feel like a setback. That’s why Bravo Hearing Centre offers expert hearing aid repair service, including emergency hearing aid repair and the ability to fix hearing aids right at our clinic.
If your device has been dropped, is producing static or no sound, or shows signs of internal damage from moisture or wear, our team is equipped to repair it quickly and effectively. Our in-house repair process includes:
- Detailed evaluation checks using manufacturer-compatible tools
- Replacement of tubing, wax filters, battery doors, microphones, or receivers
- Circuit-level or connection repairs when appropriate
- Software reprogramming if settings were changed or corrupted
- Full internal and external cleaning to remove dust and earwax

We repair a wide variety of hearing aids from leading manufacturers. When a factory repair is needed, we help coordinate the process and, whenever possible, provide loaner hearing aids or support accessories so you’re not left without sound.
Our goal is simple: clear explanations, honest recommendations, and no unnecessary replacements.
Hearing Aid Programming and Adjustments for Optimal Performance
Every ear is different, and each person’s lifestyle creates unique listening challenges. That’s why hearing aid programming is so important. At Bravo Hearing Centre, we specialize in hearing aid programming and hearing aid adjustments that enhance your hearing experience across all situations.
Programming involves calibrating the device’s internal settings to match your hearing loss levels. Using your audiogram results and real-ear measurement tools, we adjust amplification, frequency shaping, and microphone directionality to match your daily needs. Adjustments, on the other hand, fine-tune these settings based on your experience with the device.
When you visit us for programming or adjustment, we help with:
- Personalizing sound settings for work, home, and social settings
- Creating different programs for quiet and noisy environments
- Enhancing clarity for phone calls and TV use
- Adjusting feedback suppression to reduce whistling
- Updating device firmware or app connections
- Making hearing aid care and maintenance recommendations
You don’t need to wait until your hearing changes to come in. If your hearing aids feel “off,” we encourage you to reach out. A quick hearing aid adjustment can restore natural, clear sound and improve your overall comfort. Visit our hearing aid services page to learn more.
