The lifespan of a hearing aid is between five to seven years<\/a>. While your device may still be working after that time, you are not getting the same level of amplification you were when your hearing aid was new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition,\neven the best cared for device will begin to show signs of wear and tear. Your\nhearing aids spend all day in your ear, in contact with moisture, dirt and\nearwax. Over time, these can affect the inner mechanics of the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve\nChanged Your Lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of factors that go into your audiologist\u2019s decision of which hearing aid is right for you<\/a>. One major factor is your listening lifestyle. Those who spend most of their time at home require much less technology than someone leading meetings and traveling frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have\nstarted a new job, picked up a new hobby or simply found yourself in new\nenvironments, an updated hearing aid with more power and additional features\nmay be needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your\nHealth Has Changed <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we age, our\nhealth changes. While you may have been fine fiddling with small buttons and\nnobs a few years ago, a diagnosis of arthritis can impact your dexterity. A\nlarger device or a more advanced model that can be controlled from a wireless\nremote or smartphone application may be needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your\nFinances Have Improved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing aids\ncan range in price from affordable to expensive. If your financial situation\nhas improved, it may be worth upgrading to a more advanced device, which can\nprovide a superior hearing experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your\nAttitude Has Changed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It takes some\ngetting used to when you are first told you need a hearing aid. Many are not\nready to make that commitment and instead opt for a personal sound\namplification product (PSAP), which are significantly less expensive and offer\nonly simple amplification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
