Should I Fix My Hearing Aid or Just

Replace It?

If you wear hearing aids, you know that being able

to trust that they are working properly is of

utmost importance. So, keeping your hearing aids

in tip-top shape is important.

You can do this by making sure to have your

hearing aids checked by your Specialist on a regular basis and by maintaining a regular cleaning regimen at

home.

The average life-span of any hearing aid from any

manufacturer is five to seven years. If your hearing

aids are older than the typical life expectancy,

you’ll be happy to hear that they can still be fixed.

What you need to know is that, with older hearing aids,

manufacturers often stop supporting the older technology.

It’s what’s called “built in obsolescence,” and means that

manufacturer can’t feasibly repair hearing aids forever.

There are many non-manufacturer repair labs, called All-Make labs that often have parts. So, if you are

being told that you must replace the hearing aid because it isn’t fixable, get a second opinion.

If you were happy with your hearing aids prior to their breakdown, it’ll be worth your time to find someone who can

get them working again.

If your hearing aid is more than four years old, it may be worth your time to talk to

your Specialist about what’s new.

You may find that your money is better spent

on replacing your hearing aids than on fixing something that

wasn’t doing the job in the first place.
