We now offer: 1) The DIRECT Plan 2) The LOCAL Plan 3) The FLIGHT Plan
The DIRECT Plan
Buying direct is a great idea! You get the exact same aid, but at a drastically lower price! Since behind-the-ear hearing aids are one-size-fits-all, we can purchase them in bulk, which greatly reduces the price. We have also negotiated the lowest possible price with the manufacturers, and pass these savings on to you, too.
Because our prices are so much lower than everyone else, we frequently are asked if the aids are new or used. Rest assured, ALL of our aids are brand new, ordered fresh from the original manufacturer, and come with a two or three year warranty. Feel free to call the Better Business Bureau and ask for a report. We have never had one single complaint in over 18 years (except from our competitors!).
Remember though, if you order a standard BTE hearing aid, all you have to do is plug the new aid into your existing ear mold or you can order the phenomenal new Comfort Ear ( www.earmold.org) . Some patients will choose to get a new custom earmold made, and we can help you with that, also. Many patients can wear the new Open Ear aids that don't require an earmold.
If you are replacing a lost aid, we usually recommend that you order the same brand and model that you lost, unless it was no longer working effectively for your current loss.
It is required that you speak with one of our hearing aid specialists before you order an aid from us, to make sure you get the most appropriate aid for your current loss and your budget. You will need to get your hearing retested, if it has been over 6 months since your last hearing test.
The LOCAL Plan
We still help you select the most appropriate aid for your loss, and we even program the aids for you. But instead of sending it directly to you, we send it to a hearing aid center in your area to do a face-to-face fitting. The LOCAL Plan adds an additional $500 per aid, to pay the local specialist ($1000 for two aids). The LOCAL Plan includes one year of free local service. If you order your aids through the LOCAL Plan, but you do not keep the aids, you will forfeit $500, to pay the local specialist for their time.
The FLIGHT Plan:
The FLIGHT Plan is quite simple. You fly (or drive) to our headquarters (see address below) and we provide a face-to-face fitting. You get the lower prices of the DIRECT Plan, but with a free local test and fitting from us. The only additional cost is your air fare.
