How Long Do Hearing Aids Last?

Hearing aids can last anywhere from three to seven years — for some people, even longer. Hearing aid users can prolong the life of their hearing aid by following the maintenance schedule that the practitioner recommends, this usually includes a professional cleaning every 3-4 months depending on the patient’s rate of wax accumulation.

There is no such thing as a maintenance-free hearing aid. The key to short-term and long-term success is the professional practitioner who is providing the service.
