Quick Answer: Hearing aid warranties typically run one to three years, with the length tracking price: budget OTC brands like Audien and MDHearing cover 1 year, Eargo covers 1-2 years depending on the model, and Jabra Enhance covers its full lineup for 3 years including loss and theft. Standard warranties cover manufacturing defects and hardware failures; loss/theft coverage is a separate add-on some brands include and others don’t. Once the manufacturer warranty expires, third-party loss-and-damage policies (roughly $150-$500/year) or a manufacturer extension like Eargo Care can keep you covered.
A hearing aid is a $600-$2,700 purchase, so what the warranty actually covers — and for how long — matters as much as the device itself. Warranty terms vary more between brands than most buyers expect, from Jabra Enhance’s three-year all-in coverage to budget brands that cover just twelve months of defects and nothing else. This guide breaks down what’s typically covered, how long each major brand’s warranty lasts, and when paying for extra protection is worth it.
Hearing aid warranties by the numbers
- Jabra Enhance covers its entire Select lineup for 3 years, including loss and theft replacement, plus 3 years of remote audiologist care bundled into the same term — verified on jabraenhance.com for the Select 300 at $1,695/pair.
- Third-party loss-and-damage protection plans typically cost $150 to $500 per year, according to hearing-industry cost reporting, and usually require a deductible per claim rather than offering a fully free replacement — worth weighing against a device’s actual replacement cost before buying.
Warranty length by brand
| Brand | Repair/defect warranty | Loss/theft included? | Money-back trial |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jabra Enhance | 3 years, all models | Yes, standard | 100 days |
| Eargo (SE) | 1 year | 1 year, 1x per device | Varies by retailer |
| Eargo (7 / 8) | 2 years | 2 years, 1x per device | Varies by retailer |
| Lexie B2 / B2 Plus | 1 year | No, defects only | 45 days |
| MDHearing | 1 year (2 years, Volt models) | No, defects only | 60 days |
| Audien | 1 year | No, defects only | 45 days |
Terms change, and the table above reflects each brand’s published policy as of mid-2026 — confirm current terms directly with the manufacturer before buying, since coverage details are exactly the kind of thing that shifts between model refreshes.
What’s actually covered — and what isn’t
A hearing aid warranty is not one uniform thing; it usually bundles two or three separate protections under a single term:
- Manufacturing defects and hardware failure. This is the core of every warranty — if a receiver stops working, a shell cracks under normal use, or the electronics fail on their own, this is covered regardless of brand.
- Loss and theft (brand-dependent). Jabra Enhance includes this standard for the full 3-year term. Most budget and mid-tier brands don’t include it at all, or cap it at one replacement per device during the warranty window — read the fine print rather than assuming it’s automatic.
- What voids coverage. Water damage beyond the device’s rated resistance, damage from dropping or crushing, unauthorized repair attempts, and normal wear items like domes, wax guards, and batteries are excluded almost universally — see our hearing aid repair guide for what out-of-warranty fixes actually cost, since 70-80% of “failures” are wax or moisture you can clear yourself rather than a warranty claim at all.
Extending coverage once the manufacturer warranty runs out
Two routes, and they solve slightly different problems:
- Manufacturer extensions, like Eargo Care, add a year of coverage on top of the standard term through the same company — simplest option if you’re already inside that ecosystem.
- Third-party loss-and-damage insurance from providers like ESCO picks up after any manufacturer warranty expires (or fills a loss/theft gap the manufacturer never covered), typically running $150-$500/year with a deductible per claim. Compare that annual cost against your device’s actual replacement price — a $600 OTC pair may not justify a $300/year policy the way a $4,000 premium pair does.
Hearing aid case with drying capsule
- Most warranty exclusions trace back to moisture and physical damage — a hard case with a built-in drying capsule cuts both risks at once for daily storage.
- Pairs with a consistent overnight-drying habit, which our [hearing aid maintenance guide](/guides/hearing-aid-maintenance/) covers in more depth.
- Cheap enough that it pays for itself against a single avoided out-of-warranty repair bill.
Once you know your warranty’s actual gaps, it’s worth keeping a spare wax-guard and dome kit on hand so a routine part swap never turns into a claim — try Amazon Prime free for 30 days to get replacement parts to your door in two days instead of waiting on a mail-in order.
A note on Eargo and Lexie specifically
Both brands are owned by LXE Hearing, which announced in July 2026 that it is winding down all U.S. operations. Per HearingTracker, LXE says support and warranty claims will be honored only through September 15, 2026. If you already own an Eargo or Lexie device, your existing warranty should still be processed up to that date — but this is not a brand to buy new into right now, since a warranty is only as good as the company still standing behind it. See our Eargo hearing aids and Lexie hearing aids pages for the full picture, or Jabra Enhance Select 300 for a currently-supported alternative with a 3-year warranty and no wind-down risk.
The bottom line
Warranty length tracks price more than most buyers expect — budget OTC brands cover roughly a year of defects, Eargo scales from one to two years by model, and Jabra Enhance’s 3-year warranty with loss and theft included is the most complete coverage in this category. Read the fine print on loss/theft before assuming it’s included, and weigh a third-party loss-and-damage policy against your device’s actual replacement cost rather than buying one reflexively.
