If you wear hearing aids, you've probably wondered how long they'll continue performing at their best.
Like smartphones and other electronic devices, hearing aids experience daily wear and tear. While they're designed to be durable, they will eventually need to be repaired or replaced.
So, how long do hearing aids last?
On average, most hearing aids last between 3 and 7 years, depending on how well they're maintained, how often they're used, and whether your hearing needs have changed.
Several factors can impact how long your hearing aids last, including:
Daily use
Exposure to moisture and earwax
Regular cleaning and maintenance
The style of hearing aid
Advances in hearing aid technology
Taking good care of your devices can help extend their lifespan and keep them performing at their best.
Even if your hearing aids still work, they may no longer provide the best listening experience.
Here are a few signs it may be time to upgrade:
If speech sounds unclear or you frequently ask people to repeat themselves, your hearing aids may no longer meet your needs.
Occasional maintenance is normal, but constant repairs can become expensive. Replacing older hearing aids may be the more cost-effective option.
Hearing loss can progress over time. A hearing test can determine whether your current hearing aids are still the right fit.
Today's hearing aids offer features that weren't available just a few years ago, including:
Rechargeable batteries
Bluetooth streaming
Smartphone controls
AI-powered sound processing
Auracast™ compatibility
Upgrading can make everyday conversations and entertainment much easier.

Store them in a dry place.
Replace wax guards when needed.
Keep rechargeable models properly charged.
Schedule regular maintenance with your hearing care provider.
