As we all know, hearing aids work best when the sound matches the user's hearing, which requires constant tuning by the dispenser. But after a few years, there are always some small problems which can not be solved by the debugging of dispenser. Why is this?
With these cases, it's time to replace your hearing aids.
When the volume of the hearing aid is not enough
Hearing conditions can change over time. If your hearing loss is beyond the original range, the volume of the old hearing aid is "not enough", just like clothes are too small to fasten buttons, you can only change to a larger size. Most behind the ear hearing aids can meet the hearing needs of even people with extremely severe hearing loss, while RIC hearing aids can be replaced with different receiver to meet the needs of deepening hearing loss.
When the noise reduction function of the hearing aid can no longer meet your needs
When some people with hearing loss choose hearing AIDS for the first time, It may be limited by the budget, shape and other aspects, the final choice of hearing AIDS sounds good in a relatively quiet environment , but it is not very idea in the noise environment, public places, telephone communication, watching TV and so on.
In this case ,you should change new ones.
When hearing aids are over five years old, repairs are quite expensive
How long does a hearing aid last? The usual answer is 6-8 years, which is calculated according to the aging degree of electronic components.Some users need frequent maintenance for their hearing aids with three or four years, but some used more than 10 years still feel the effect is very good, which may be related to the following factors.
1.service environment
Is your living environment more humid and dusty?
2.Maintenance frequency
Do you insist on doing simple cleaning and maintenance every day?
Will you regularly go to the store to do professional maintenance?
3.Clean technique
Is your daily cleaning work is standard?
Will there be a self-defeating and damage to the machine?
4.Physiological differences
Are you more likely to sweat and produce oil?
Do you have more cerumen?
We suggest that you go to the store regularly to do professional maintenance, and then a comprehensive overhaul when pass the warranty period. When it needs repair, please ask the dispenser to evaluate the cost. If it is not worth repairing, it is recommended to consider replacement.
