Most likely they can. But there's no guarantee that you're going to hear well with them even if they are repaired. That's because when we send old aids in to be repaired, they are restored to the factory specifications that were ordered when they were new. That was twelve years ago, and most lively your hearing has changed. Your best bet will be to come in for a full hearing test.

Then you'll know what will be the best direction to take spending the money on repairing the old aids, or putting the money toward new aids. Wallace A. Orton Jr. passed away April 16, 1997 at age 77.
