We must determine\r\nthe following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><li>Whether\r\nyour hearing aids are under warranty (basic or extended).<\/li><li>The\r\nextent of damage.<\/li><li>The\r\nprice of replacement parts.<\/li><li>Labor\r\ncharges.<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If your\r\nhearing aids are still under warranty and purchased through us, the cost of\r\nrepairs will be nominal or free. If the warranty has expired, we\u2019ll need to\r\nassess the level of damage before providing you with an estimate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Occasionally\r\nthe cost of repair will be high enough that you may be better off investing in\r\na new pair of hearing aids. This is especially true if your current hearing\r\naids are more than five years old or if you have already repaired your hearing\r\naids. Because of the technological advances, a new pair of hearings aids are\r\nmore powerful and come packed with features for improved sound quality. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The expert staff at <span class=\"company-name \">Audiology Center Northwest<\/span> is happy to evaluate your hearing aids and help you decide whether having them repaired makes the most financial sense.
