Over the last years, hearing aids have undergone something of a revolution. New features are added every year and the overall design and durability are improved continuously. If you’re thinking of getting one or you’ve been prescribed a specific model by your doctor, you probably wonder how much such a device can last.
On average, a hearing aid has a lifespan of around three to seven years. The periods depends on the style since in-the-ear hearing aids can last up to four or five years while the behind-the-ear style has a five to six-year lifespan. Taking care of them correctly can further prolong their service life.
