7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Wuvee hearing aids, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Whistling or Feedback:
- Ensure the earplug is correctly sized and securely inserted into your ear canal. A loose fit can cause sound to leak and be picked up by the microphone, creating feedback.
- Try a different size earplug for a better seal.
- Check for earwax buildup in the ear canal or on the hearing aid.
