The average lifespan for a modern, well-maintained hearing aid is typically 3 to 7 years.

However, it is helpful to look at this in two ways:

Physical Lifespan (The device stops working): With excellent care and regular professional maintenance, many devices can last 5 to 7+ years. The high-quality materials and protective coatings used by Oticon are designed for this kind of longevity.

Functional Lifespan (The technology becomes outdated): Many users choose to upgrade their devices around the 3 to 5 year mark, not because the old aid is broken, but because new technology offers significant improvements in speech clarity, noise reduction, and connectivity (like Bluetooth).

Key Factors Affecting Lifespan
The durability of your hearing aid is primarily affected by the following:

Moisture and Earwax (The Biggest Threats): This is the number one cause of failure. Sweat, humidity, and earwax corrosion significantly reduce the life of internal electronics.

Maintenance Routine: Daily cleaning, especially of the receiver/microphone ports, and consistent use of a drying kit or dehumidifier are essential for reaching the 5-7 year range.

Hearing Aid Style: Devices worn In-the-Ear (ITE/CIC) have a shorter life because they are exposed to more wax and moisture than Behind-the-Ear (BTE/RIC) models.

Rechargeable Batteries: Lithium-ion batteries in rechargeable models usually start to degrade (hold less charge) around the 4 to 5-year mark, often signalling it's time for a replacement device.
