The first step would be to check if the hearing aid is on and functioning properly. If it is off or adjusted incorrectly, it could create the perception of non-functionality. If the hearing aid continues to not work after being turned on, then further troubleshooting or contacting a healthcare professional may be necessary. Asking simple questions or trying the hearing aid in your ear may not provide accurate information or a solution to the potential issue. Telling the nurse should also be done, but after checking the hearing aid first.
