Is It Time to Upgrade Your Hearing Aids? Here’s How to Know.

If your hearing aids are more than a couple years old, you might be wondering: Should I upgrade? While well-maintained hearing aids can provide years of clear, comfortable listening, there are several reasons why upgrading might be the right move if your lifestyle, hearing needs, or technology expectations have changed. 

Here are a few signs that it might be time for a new pair:

1.  New Features Could Improve Your Everyday Life

Hearing aid technology has advanced significantly in just the past few years. Today’s devices offer features that make it easier and more enjoyable to wear a hearing aid. Look for features like:

• Bluetooth streaming for hands-free phone calls and music

• Mobile app control for easy adjustments

• Hearing aid locator tools, like those in our new Ultra Series, so you never lose your devices again

If you frequently misplace your hearing aids or find yourself taking out your hearing aids for phone calls or volume adjustments, these new advances might be exactly what you need. Instead of not wearing your hearing aids because they are challenging, look for new features like these that fit your lifestyle and make hearing better easier than ever.

2. Your Hearing Has Changed

Much like eyesight, hearing loss can change over time. If your current hearing aids are no longer providing the clarity or volume you need, it may be time to step up to more advanced technology. For instance, if you have a lower channel count device like a 32-channel model, moving to a 64-channel (or even 128-channel) option can help deliver richer, clearer sound. There is no need to suffer with a prescription that is no longer right for you. Your hearing specialist can provide comprehensive testing to keep track of your hearing and advise when upgrading your hearing aid will provide the solution you need.

3. You’re Experiencing Battery or Charging Issues

If your devices are no longer holding a charge like they used to, or if you’re constantly swapping out batteries, it might be a sign that it’s time for an upgrade. Newer models often have longer battery life, more reliable charging, and improved efficiency. Have your specialist inspect your hearing aids and work together to decide if upgrading is the right decision.

4. You Want a More Natural Sound and Customization

Faster processors in modern hearing aids mean more lifelike sound quality, especially in dynamic environments like restaurants or busy gatherings. If you’ve ever struggled to follow conversation even with your hearing aids in, it may be time to experience the difference of a new-generation device.

Additionally, over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids are a great starting point for many with mild hearing loss, but if you want more fine-tuned control and a better fit for your hearing profile, prescription hearing aids might be your next step. These are tailored by hearing professionals to match your specific needs and lifestyle.

So, When Should You Replace Hearing Aids?

We recommend considering a replacement every 3 to 5 years. Think of it like getting a new pair of glasses, upgrading your smartphone, or trading in your car. It’s not just about something new: it’s about getting the best performance and support for your hearing health.

And when you do the math, the investment is often minimal.

  • A $3,000 pair of hearing aids used for 3 years = just $2.73 a day
  • Wait 5 years, and that drops to $1.64 a day

That’s less than a daily cup of coffee for better hearing and quality of life. Along with the added health benefits like decreased dementia and fall risks, when you think of all the things you can accomplish because of your hearing – from your professional life to your favorite hobbies – it’s easier to understand why the investment is worthwhile.
