The rubber contact below the buttons will wear off with prolonged physical press and eventually stop working. If you are CyanogenMod user then this will not be a problem for you as you’ll still easily adjust volumes using the Volume tile on your Quick Settings.

Fortunately, there is an app that can help you adjust the volume with only few steps.
