It is normal for our headphones to deteriorate over time to the point of ceasing to function. Having such a delicate design it is very easy for them to get damaged or simply exhaust their useful life.

Among the most common reasons why our headphones get damaged, we find: that having a so fragile cable if one applies unnecessary tension it is possible that the filaments that make it up yes break, so today it is more and more common to connect headphones via Bluetooth and without cables.

If not taken care of during storage, the cord is likely to tangle or break and consequently be damaged. Another common way hearing aids get damaged is when they are unplugged.

If the cable is roughly grasped instead of carefully disconnect the connector, it is likely to be damaged. Causing them to stop working completely or only one of the speakers to sound.


The best way to prolong life of our hearing aids is treat them with care, do not apply unnecessary stress and store them in places where they are not at risk of tangling. In this way we can continue to enjoy them without inconvenience.



On the other hand, in case you want to save some hearing aids that have stopped working, there is a very simple way to fix them. Therefore in this article we will learn the steps that must be followed to solve them correctly.

If this is our case, the first thing we should do is get us a Mini Jack connector that works. We can recycle this connector by using an old headset or by buying one at an electronics store, they are usually very cheap.

The next step is to take the headphones that we are going to repair, with a pair of scissors we cut the part where the connector is located together with the cable that is damaged. Leaving only the speakers with the cable which is still in good condition.



Now we take the end of the cable that we have just cut and with small tweezers we peel about three centimeters of cable. We remove the enamel that covers it until the three filaments carrying the cable are exposed.

In case our hearing aids have four internal filaments, we take the two gray cables and we join them in the shape of a braid. Then we take the mini Jack connector we bought and remove the wire it carries.


We can see that it has three connectors. In each of these connectors we will place each of the cables that we have previously stripped. If we have a soldering iron, we solder these cables a little to make them safer, ready in this way we have successfully fixed our headphones.
