(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 29, 2009 ) Lake Forest, IL – One of the primary reasons patients who could benefit from a hearing aid don't get one is that hearing aids can be cost-prohibitive. They're too expensive for many, and often not covered by insurance. That leaves a void online hearing aid retailers can fill. However, consumers don't always trust online hearing aid retailers to provide the same quality products as their audiologist. Hearing aid manufacturer, Hearing Central LLC, offers free tips to help consumers identify reputable online hearing aid sellers to safely purchase high quality products products while cutting costs.
“While there are good options for purchasing online hearing aids, they might be difficult for consumers to spot,” says Phil Wyatt, CEO of Hearing Central LLC. “Patients don't want to end up with cheap devices that don't work, so they might feel safer staying away from online purchasing altogether. They don't have to do that. There are some easy ways to separate the quality hearing aid retailers online from the rest."
Hearing Central LLC suggests that patients consider the following questions before choosing an online hearing aid retailer:
1. Is the company just a retailer, or are they also the manufacturer of the hearing aids? While there can be trustworthy hearing aid companies that operate solely as online retailers, those retailers still have to add a markup in order to make a profit. Patients can save even more by shopping with hearing aid manufacturers who sell their own products directly to consumers on the Web.
2. Do the hearing aids meet FDA standards? This should be a primary consideration in purchasing any hearing aid online. By choosing hearing aids that meet FDA standards, buyers can be more confident in the quality of the products.
3. Does the company offer a warranty on the hearing aids? If the consumer isn't familiar with the company and they have no warranty or assurance that they'll get a replacement or refund if it doesn't work properly, it's a good idea to keep looking.
Hearing Central LLC is both a manufacturer and online retailer of digital hearing aids, including the digi-Ear in the ear hearing aids and the Melody open fit hearing aid lines. By cutting out the middlemen, Hearing Central LLC can offer digital hearing aids that meet FDA standards for at least 75% less than typical retail prices. All hearing aids come with a 12 month manufacturer's warranty.
