At Aanvii Hearing, one of the most common questions we hear from our customers is:

“My hearing aid isn’t working—should I repair it or replace it?”

The answer? It depends. While there’s no one-size-fits-all response, this guide will help you make the best choice for your hearing needs.

Why Do Hearing Aids Stop Working?

Hearing aids are small yet sophisticated devices designed to work in a moist, wax-filled environment—your ears. Over time, earwax buildup, exposure to moisture, and accidental drops can affect performance. Even high-end hearing aids experience wear and tear. That’s why it's normal for users to consider repairing or replacing their devices after some time.

When Should You Consider a Repair?

Repair might be your best option if:

You are comfortable with your current hearing aid and its sound quality.

The damage is minor—like a broken tube, clogged microphone, or battery issue.

You prefer analog models that are no longer available in newer formats.

Cost is a concern, and the repair is significantly cheaper than a new device.

Repairs are often budget-friendly and can extend the life of your device by a few more years. If you purchased your hearing aid from Aanvii Hearing, our expert technicians can often perform on-the-spot minor repairs or coordinate quick service with trusted repair labs.

When Is It Time to Replace?

Replacing might be a better decision if:

Your hearing aid is more than 5 years old and has outdated features.

Your hearing needs have changed, and your current device no longer meets them.

You’ve had multiple repairs recently, indicating a decline in overall functionality.

You are interested in newer technology like Bluetooth connectivity, rechargeable batteries, noise filtering, and AI-powered hearing personalization.
