At Gardner Audiology, we understand how important your hearing aids are to your daily life. They connect you to your family, work, and the world. So when a hearing aid stops working and it’s out of warranty, you’re faced with a tough decision. Should you repair it or invest in a new one?
Every patient’s situation is different, but we’re here to help you understand your options so you can choose what’s best for your hearing health and your budget.
What is an Out of Warranty Repair?
An out of warranty repair is the servicing of a hearing device after the original manufacturer’s warranty has expired. Once the warranty no longer covers the cost of repairs, the patient is responsible for paying out of pocket for any needed maintenance, part replacement, or technical fixes.
When an Out of Warranty Repair Might Be the Right Choice
Some common reasons to consider repair:
- Your hearing aids are less than 5 years old. Devices typically have a lifespan of up to 7 years, and repairs can often extend their use.
- Your hearing aids do not need to be adjusted. When they are working properly, the sound quality and level is comfortable and sufficient for your hearing loss.
- The cost of repair is reasonable for your budget. The cost of an out of warranty repair starts at $395.00.
Our team at Gardner Audiology can evaluate your device and give you honest feedback about whether a repair is worth the cost.
