I want to express my heart about Deaf Devices and rest of Electronics. I want to say what pissed me off 
about Deaf Devices (Alert devices , TTY, ect...)
I studied Electronics at my mainstream HS and went to DeVry Insitutes of Technology for Electronic Engineer Technicitan back in 89 but did not finished school cuz of my job. My boss blocked me from attend class and told me work is more important than school. My wife begged me to keep job cuz it pays well so I was stuck on that. I was on Dean's List at DeVry. That's why I am creative and learned lot of dirty little secrets that Instructor from DeVry explained that many Companies makes Electronics cheap and sells it 200% to 1000% profit. Hearing Aid is one of them. You can buy directly from Factory for $ 100 each but you must have Audiology Degree in order to obtain one then sell it for $1,300. That's why I was pissed off over what Deaf Device Companies ripping off Deaf people, they designed a circuit that have short lifespan to force Deaf to keep buying their products. The more you learn about electronics and more you will realized they're ripping off. Electronic components are really cheap to build and you can sell it honest 50% more for profit. Some companies buys Chinese electronic for dirt cheap price and sell it 1000% of value such as Dell Computers (seriously!!) which is why I hate Dell (I currently have Personal Computer Technician diplomia from NRI Home study school that I graduated back in 97', It's a tough program and managed to get A- for 2 years course). I knew so much about computer hardware. I build my own system better than Dell. Dell design motherboard that prevent anyone to upgrade except processor and memory. They had PCIe slot removed on some system to prevent anyone upgrade graphic card. They use power supply barely enough to power entire system and let it fail a year or so that they can have Customer bring back and have it serviced. Which is why Dell is Evil. They're good with Business section but bad on Customer section..
I am not wearing Tin Foil hat and I don't talk like imaginary mental ill people, I saw the facts and did lot of researches plus met with several Deaf who builds, repairs and sells Computers and some are expert with Electronics, they saw that too.. . All agreed with me for very same reason. We are living in dark secret society that Companies don't want you to know what they do.. I called and had an heated debate with Ultratech, caught Ultratech TTY company red handed that they did admitted that they designed TTY that it fails exactly 3 years of usage. No wonder why I used to have 5 broken Ultratech ttys that did not last more than 3 years. I was very angry at them because when I had an emergency and I called Relay, my tty failed on me on that day. I had to ask my hearing kids to speak with Dr for me. I pointed out ULtratech that why computer Keyboards last long time even heavy usage while TTY keyboards failed and aslo on/off switch too. Even its printer failed couple year and I can't print for evidence. I threw ALL TTY away when Sorenson started their first VP. I'm so happy that Ultratech are suffering for their consequence..
What I learned from DeVry back in 89' and maybe Today may have changed or not. I may be wrong.. There are 4 different grades of Electronics components (Transistors, Resistors, IC chips ect...). Customer Grade, Industrial Grade, Medical Grade and Military Grade. Customer Grade is 5 to 7 years. Industrial Grade is 7 to 10 years, Medical Grade is 10 to 15 years and Military Grade is 15 to 20 years. That explains why you noticed that your Electronics fails within 5 years or so after heavy usage. If you use moderately, it will last even longer (my Radio Shack timer last so long because It was unused for 10 years then finally put to use and still have plenty of life ahead...). Keep your eye on patterns of Electronic appliance and you'll see the average life span are short.
Make sense??
