How to buy hearing aids online

openfit.com sells hearing aids at wholesale levels

Many baby boomers are facing a dilemma.  They need hearing help, but their insurance covers very little or none of the purchase.  They come back from the audiologist or hearing aid dealer depressed after they see the prices for new sets of hearing aids.  Typically a pair of new hearing aids costs anywhere from $5000 to $8000 per pair.  Many of these baby boomers are looking to the internet as a way to meet their hearing needs where prices are often much lower.  Below are some tips when purchasing hearing aids online.

1.   Buy from a respected company.  Make sure the company has been in business for at least several years.  Also, check out the company with the Better Business Bureau.  The BBB now has an online reliability program.   Companies that are proud of their BBB ranking will display their BBB seal on their websites.

2.   Buy a respected product.  Be sure the hearing aids that you buy are manufactured by one of the top hearing aid manufactures.  Some of the best manufactures of hearing aids are Siemens, GNResound and Sebotek.  These hearing aids will come with the full manufacture warranties.

3.   Get everything in writing.  Federal laws require hearing aid dealers provide at least a 30 day trial period.  Be sure that you have the return policy and warranty in writing before any deal is made.

4.       Pay with a credit card or an online payment method that protects you.

Hearing Again is an online dealer that meets all of these requirements.  They have been in business for many years and have been selling hearing aids online for 2 years.  They sell the top hearing aids at wholesale pricing.  And, they offer a 50 day no questions asked return policy.  Buying hearing aids online is a great way to save thousands of dollars and more importantly improve your life with better hearing.
