A clear path for a fault in a Philips HearLink hearing aid: what to check safely at home, what to check with us, and what happens when the fault cannot be solved with us.
Step 1: safe checks at home
| What is happening | What to check, according to Philips | Did not help? |
|---|---|---|
| No sound at all | According to Philips, the common cause is a hearing aid that is not charged: charge it. Switch on with a press of about two seconds on the button, or take it out of the charger. | Contact G-Sound |
| The hearing aid does not charge | The charger is plugged in, the hearing aids sit correctly, the charging surfaces are clean and dry, and the charger matches the style. | Contact G-Sound |
| Weak or muffled sound | According to Philips, a blocked sound outlet is a common cause: replace the filter, dome or Grip Tip. | Contact G-Sound |
| Does not connect to the phone | According to Philips: unpair, turn Bluetooth and the hearing aids off and on, and pair again. | Contact G-Sound |
| Whistling | According to Philips, whistling can come from an earpiece that was not inserted correctly: insert it again. | Contact G-Sound |
| The hearing aid got wet | According to Philips, wipe it gently and let it dry, without heat. | Contact G-Sound |

What not to do
- Do not open the hearing aid or the charger.
- Do not dry it with a hair dryer, in an oven or in a microwave.
- Do not clean it with solvents or harsh substances.
- Do not insert sharp objects into the openings of the hearing aid.
Step 2: contact G-Sound
By phone or WhatsApp on 055-3333338. All Philips requests come to G-Sound first, as an authorized marketer of Philips hearing aids. Tell us:
- the model and style, if known;
- which ear, what is happening and since when;
- what you have already checked from the table;
- a photo of the hearing aid or the charger on WhatsApp, if possible.
Step 3: finding out and basic checks with us
At G-Sound we find out what is happening and check the basics: charging and charger, phone connection and app, filter, dome and wax, and daily operation. Many everyday faults are solved at this stage.
Step 4: when the fault is not solved
When a laboratory check is needed, G-Sound coordinates further treatment with the authorized service laboratory for Philips and Oticon in Ramat Gan. That laboratory is separate from G-Sound: G-Sound is not the authorized Philips laboratory. We do not promise a repair, an outcome or a turnaround time in advance, and each case is assessed on its own. Questions about the next steps: contact us.
