Buying a Hearing Aid

Buying a hearing aid can be very confusing for a lot of people. 

The brands are not well known and the prices can be difficult to compare. 

Make sure you ask lots of questions. 

A good hearing health company will welcome your enquiry and embrace your questions.

Things to watch out for:

  • Online companies falsely claiming to be 50% cheaper than the high street.
  • National chains can be tied in to one particular manufacturer so can't offer independent advice.
  • National chains offer white label unbranded product that can't be compared or researched.
  • National companies disguised as local companies that will then sell on your information.
  • Companies offering you old technology disguised as their own brand.

What you can do to avoid this

  • Ask lots of questions.
  • Ask to know exactly what this product is so I can check it against other products.
  • Ask if this is absolutely the latest product and if it's any different from the branded product.
  • Ask if the company is fully independent or has investment from a hearing aid manufacturer.
