However, if the discomfort lingers or it\u2019s causing you pain, you\u2019ll likely need to have it refit by a specialist.<\/li><li><strong>You\u2019re experiencing feedback. <\/strong>This is a high-pitched whistling noise that occurs in your device and can be uncomfortable. If it only happens on rare occasions, it is likely fine. However, frequent feedback may indicate that your <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nidcd.nih.gov\/health\/hearing-aids#hearingaid_08\" target=\"_blank\">hearing aid does not fit or work well or is clogged by earwax or fluid.<\/a><\/li><li><strong>You\u2019re picking up too much background noise. <\/strong>Sometimes hearing aids have trouble distinguishing between background noise and the sounds you want to hear when you\u2019re in louder environments. Adjusting your settings may help minimize this issue.<\/li><li><strong>Your hearing loss is getting worse. <\/strong>If you have had your hearing aids for a while and notice that you\u2019re not hearing as well as you did when you first got them, it could be for one of two reasons. Either there is a problem with the device that can hopefully be fixed with adjustments or repairs, or your <a href=\"https:\/\/hearingaidsmobile.com\/hearing-loss\/about-hearing-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hearing loss<\/a> has changed. This can happen over time, even with regular hearing aid use.
