This issue, often referred to as feedback, was more prevalent a decade ago but has since become less of a problem due to advancements in hearing aid technology and better fitting techniques.

They explain that one major cause of hearing aid feedback is improper fit, which can be affected by a buildup of earwax in the ear canal. Earwax can change the ear canal's depth and volume, disrupting the calibration of the hearing aid's microphone and receiver, and leading to feedback. They emphasize the importance of keeping the ear canal clean to avoid this issue.

Another reason for feedback is the hearing aid not being inserted deeply enough into the ear. If the device is too shallow in the ear, sound can leak out and be re-amplified by the hearing aid's microphone, creating a feedback loop. This issue is usually resolved by ensuring the hearing aid is properly inserted.

The doctors also discuss the importance of choosing the right size and type of hearing aid, especially for those with severe hearing loss. Smaller, less visible hearing aids might not be suitable for significant hearing loss as they require more sound pressure to be effective. In such cases, a larger device that fits more securely in the ear canal may be necessary.

They conclude by reassuring that, with current technology and proper fitting, hearing aids are unlikely to produce whistling sounds. The advancements in hearing aid design have greatly reduced the incidence of feedback, making it a rare issue in modern devices.
