Hearing aids are a significant investment, so it's natural to ask how long they should last. Most give three to seven years of use, though some last longer. Here's what affects that, and how to choose between repair and replacement.
A hearing aid that whistles, squeals or buzzes is irritating for you and for everyone around you. The sound is called feedback, and it's one of the most common complaints I hear. The good news is that it almost always has a clear cause, and most causes can be fixed.
When a hearing aid goes quiet, cuts out or sounds muffled, it's easy to assume the worst. In practice, many "broken" aids are blocked, damp or on the wrong setting. Here's the order I'd work through before booking a repair.
| Mon – Fri | 9:00am – 6:00pm |
| Saturday | 11:00am – 4:00pm |
| Sunday | Closed |
