2. You have noticed changes in your hearing ability

Whether you wear hearing aids or not, age-related hearing loss can worsen over time, so we recommend an annual check-up with your hearing care expert. You might notice that you don’t get the same performance from your hearing aids as you once did.  It could be that your hearing loss level has changed beyond the range of your current hearing aids.

Answering 'yes' to the following questions will help you decide whether you need to upgrade or adjust your current hearing aids:

  • Do you turn up the volume on your hearing aids more often than you used to?
  • Do you not hear as well with your hearing aids as you used to?

If you bought your hearing aids at Hidden Hearing, you'll be invited for a check-up every six months as part of our aftercare programme. At these regular check-ups, you'll get the chance to have adjustments made to your hearing aids, so that your hearing aids continue to get the best out of your hearing aids.

3. Your hearing aids don’t seem to be working properly

Hearing aids usually last between three to seven years. The length of this timeframe depends on various factors. For example, how well the hearing aid was built, how well the hearing aid is maintained, and how much wear and tear the hearing aid goes through while being worn will all impact its lifespan.

If you experience any of the following changes in your hearing aids, you might want to consider getting them adjusted or repaired, or getting a new device:

  • Does your hearing device buzz, whistle or give feedback?
  • Do you have trouble hearing speech in noisy situations?
  • Do you have trouble hearing phone conversations?
  • Are your hearing aids not working as well as they used to?
  • Is it more tiring using your hearing aids than it used to be?

You're always welcome to contact us so we can find out if your hearing aid can be fixed by adjusting or repairing it.

4. Your hearing needs are different (due to either health or lifestyle changes)

Image shows elderly couple running
You might need new hearing aid features or technology if your hearing needs at work, home or in social settings have changed. For example, perhaps you were originally fitted for hearing aids based on a quieter lifestyle.

So if you've experienced certain lifestyle changes – like moving into a group home or getting involved in more social activities – you may have a new need for hearing aids with more power, or new capabilities.
