The problem with buying hearing aids online

Over the last few years, the prices of hearing aids have fallen sharply.  This fall in price is mostly due to 2 factors.  The first factor is hearing aids are easier to fit than in the past.  Thanks to the new open fit hearing aids, there often is not a need for a custom ear mold and no need to wait a few weeks to get fitted.  The other big factor in the price drop of hearing aids is hearing aids are now sold online at near wholesale levels.  One of the pioneers of selling hearing aids online has been openfit.com.

But, there is a problem with buying hearing aids online.  Unlike the traditional method of buying hearing aids, you cannot take the hearing aids into an audiologist when needed to get minor adjustments.  For some people, this is not a problem since they have audiologist that are willing to make adjustments on the hearing aids for minor fees.  For some people, however, this is not an option.  Sometimes people do not live near an audiologist that will see them.

Hearing Again (http://www.openfit.com/) realizes that this is a problem and they are pleased to announce a new hearing aid that you can program from your computer.  The Open-fit Prime.  This is a vast change from the traditional way of programming hearing aids that require customers to be face to face with an audiologist.  What is truly amazing about these hearing aids is they have been designed to offer a wide range of adjustment through an easy to understand software program.  And the open-fit Prime hearing aid is a very high technology hearing aid.  The open-fit Prime hearing aid has 32 digital channels, ADRO technology, feedback manager, directional microphones and telecoil.
