The physical lifespan of a hearing aid is determined by its quality, how it’s cared for, and environmental factors like humidity.
Hearing aids last on average between five to seven years. However, with proper maintenance and regular routine check-ups with your clinician, many modern devices can last more than seven years.
The range depends on several factors:
If you are asking how long hearing aids last, you might also be concerned about the internal rechargeable battery.
The internal lithium-ion batteries in rechargeable hearing aids have a lifespan of approximately four to five years of consistent charging before their daily capacity may start to noticeably decrease. This doesn't mean the device fails; it simply signals it’s time to consider a battery replacement or a hearing aid upgrade.
The overall device life remains 5-7 years, but the hearing aid batteries lifespan is the most common factor that drives the eventual need for an upgrade.
The actual replacement decision is rarely about the device breaking down. It's often driven by changes in your hearing needs and advancements in latest technology.
You know when to change hearing aids when your current devices no longer meet your lifestyle needs (e.g., they struggle with noise), or when a major technological leap (like Artificial Intelligence) offers a vastly superior listening experience.
Here are the three main indicators that it's time for a professional conversation about an upgrade:
At Amplifon, you'll find hearing solutions that range from almost invisible styles that fit discreetly inside the ear, to those that sit snugly behind the ear. You can even select devices that connect wirelessly to your smartphone.
