Nozzle too close to bed and bad leveling can wear it off or clog it very quick (in 3 month or so). I damaged 2-3 nozzle when I was newbie and struggling with bed leveling/adhesion. After that only changed nozzle when different size is needed.

Don't run filament out after switch different brand/color/type of filament can also cause partial clog on nozzles. Google Atomic pull for method to clean up nozzles. Also make sure to heat up hotend when change nozzles and avoid get burned.
