How long can a human survive inside a dark box?

I am toying with an idea which requires a human to be stuck in a dark box for the rest of their life.

They receive regular exercise of the arms and legs, air, food and water and their bodily functions are taken care of by the box.

The only contact they have to the outside world is through a pair of binoculars and hearing trumpets. They have contact with humans, but cannot respond.

How long can someone survive with only movement, sight and hearing of the outside world, air, food and water?
