Personalising and Optimising Hearing Technology

However, this will be on a case by case basis, and it is best to discuss this directly with your Clinical Audiologist.

Repairs, Servicing & Sterilisation of Personal Hearing Instruments

As an alternative to visiting us in person, you may prefer to take advantage of our Hearing Lab service. You may use this service to sterilise and service your hearing technology and to complete any repairs that may be required.You do not have to be present for us to sterilise and service your hearing technology. You may courier or post the devices to us. However, we strongly recommend using a secure delivery service or have a friend or family member deliver them to our clinic. Cubex will not be responsible for any items sent to us that may get lost or damaged in the post. We also cannot recommend insuring your hearing instruments enough. You can learn more about insurance for hearing technology here.Please contact us before forwarding your hearing technology to Cubex so that we can get a clear picture of the type of damage or servicing required in advance.We aim to complete most of the repairs in-house within 24 hours. However, depending on the extent of the damage, there may be occasions when your hearing technology requires the attention of an external manufacturer lab in which case, please expect a minimum of 6 to 7 working days before your instrument is ready to be dispatched or collected.Please click here for more details regarding turn-around times, fees and warranty covers.
