The volume buttons on Phonak Behind-the-Ear hearing aids may not be working due to several reasons:
1. Battery Issues – The battery may be depleted or incorrectly inserted. Try replacing it and ensuring proper placement. 2. Device Not Turned On – Check if the hearing aid is powered on. 3. Blocked Controls – Dirt or debris may be obstructing the volume buttons. Clean the device carefully. 4. Locked Settings – Some hearing aids have settings that disable manual volume control. Check the user guide or consult an audiologist. 5. Technical Malfunction – If none of the above work, the device may have a fault requiring professional servicing.
For further troubleshooting, refer to the user guide or seek professional assistance.
