Hearing aids are reliable devices—but like all electronics worn daily, they can run into issues. The good news is that many common hearing aid problems are easy to fix at home, without repairs or replacement.

Knowing when to replace a hearing aid battery is essential for sound quality, reliability, and daily comfort. A weak or dying battery can make hearing aids sound distorted, cut out unexpectedly, or stop working altogether—often at the worst possible moment.

If you’re considering hearing aids—or already own a pair—you’re probably wondering: How long do hearing aids actually last? The short answer is 3 to 7 years, but the real answer depends on the type of device, how you use it, and how well you maintain it.

Travel is exciting—but it’s also noisy. From airplane cabins and airport announcements to concerts, traffic, and crowded cities, your ears are exposed to more sound than you might realize. Over time, repeated exposure to loud environments can lead to noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus, or sound sensitivity.

Can earbuds cause hearing loss? Yes, earbuds can cause hearing loss—but it depends on how loud, how long, and how often you use them.

White noise is safe for your ears if kept below 50–60 dB, used without headphones, and not played continuously at high volume. Hearing damage comes from loudness and duration—not white noise itself.

No—noise-canceling headphones do not inherently damage hearing when used properly. In fact, they can help protect hearing by reducing background noise, which often allows users to listen at lower, safer volumes.
