I purchased a Rexton Regatta, 1 1/2 years ago & they have been breaking alot, so therefore I am in the market again for hearing aides. I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that would tell me a hearing aids durability level so this doesn't happen again. All I can find so far is websites that sell hearing aides & "Positive" reviews on whatever they happen to sell.

www.bbb.org Is the better business bureau online. It is always a good place to start.

I am not aware of the type of report you are looking for, but I will mention in my own experience working with HI children that children are MUCH tougher on hearing aids than adults, so anything that gets rave reviews from a parent is going to stand up to almost anything an adult can throw at it. My daughter and I have both worn the Phonak Claro and Oticon Syncro hearing aids and been very pleased with their durability.
If you are in an area with high humidity, you may want to consider some type of dehumidifier solution (Dry and Store comes to mind) as the water may be contributing to your frequent repairs.

Check out Consumer Reports. They evaluate lots of stuff.
