Getting used to a hearing aid takes time, usually at least a month to six weeks, but it may take as long as several months until your ability to understand speech has peaked. If you don't notice a marked improvement by the end of the first month, there's a strong chance that the hearing aid isn't right for you.
It really depends how well you look after them. Many people have had their hearing aids for 10 years or more. Most hearing aids can have extended manufacturers warranties up to 5 years which will cover any component failure. It is therefore worthwhile getting an extended warranty. Most hearing aids come with a 2 year manufacturerâs warranty as standard so you would only need to pay for the extra 3 years. We charge an additional Â£50 per hearing aid per year so it would only cost another Â£150 to get a five year warranty (and Â£300 if you have 2 hearing aids).
