If you bought your hearing system from Superior Hearing Solutions and it is still under warranty, your repair costs will likely be minimal — if there's a charge at all. Hearing aids that are no longer under warranty or that were purchased elsewhere may cost more to fix. Cracked shells on custom-molded devices can be expensive, but in some cases these cracks can be repaired.
Your devices are more than five years old. Hearing aids typically last for four to five years. If your hearing aids are beyond three years old, repair needs are likely to pile up, in which case it makes more financial sense to get some new devices.
A manufacturer's warranty essentially states that the product should last five years — nothing beyond that is guaranteed. Balancing the cost of repairs with the cost of a new system (and how it will benefit your life) can be tricky, but our practice can help you determine a proper course of action after diagnosing the damage and estimating repair costs.
Contact your insurer's customer service line to find out for sure, but typically, insurance does not cover the cost of hearing aid repairs. Extended-coverage plans that protect against damage, however, are available for some hearing aids at Superior Hearing Solutions. Please call our office to learn more about protecting your investment in better hearing!
Our practice can help diagnose the problem with your technology, and we will offer a repair if fixing the device is possible. In many cases, when you've purchased your technology at Superior Hearing Solutions, repairs for devices that are still under warranty carry a minimal charge, if any at all.
