Technically they can "fail" over time, but it's pretty rare, and it wouldn't affect the way your pictures look. (They'd just stop working, you wouldn't be able to get the images off them, or your camera would give you an error of some sort when you tried to use it.)
Graininess sounds like you changed a setting on your camera. For example, did you change the camera's simulated ISO setting? Setting it higher will make the images appear more grainy.
Changing the exposure might also have a similar effect. (As would taking pictures in the dark...they can appear "grainy" too.)Lorne ( )

It also could be that the resolution may be been changed/reset on your camera for the number of pixels used for each image... You might compare the dimensions of some earlier images (i.e. 1024 x 768) vs. the latest ones...
A lower resolution means more images will fit on the same memory card.
Low-resolution images appear "grainy" when you scale them up to larger sizes.
