According to NYS law, how long is a hearing aid dispenser required to accept repairs?

In New York State, the law mandates that a hearing aid dispenser must accept repairs for a period of five years after the initial sale of the hearing aid. This requirement ensures that consumers have access to necessary maintenance and repairs, enhancing the longevity and functionality of the devices. The five-year timeframe reflects a balance between ensuring that providers remain accountable for their products while also considering the practical aspects of technology and materials used in hearing aids, which may evolve over time.

This regulation ultimately serves to protect consumers, ensuring they receive quality service and support for their hearing aids long after the sale has been completed.
