Top 5 reasons why you shouldn’t buy hearing aids online

This post sponsored by Hear.com.

It is true that the Internet is the go-to place for the best deals on almost anything you can think of. However, there are some things you should not buy online – a hearing aid is one of them.

The temptation to buy a hearing aid off EBay, Craigslist, or any other online retailer is understandable considering how expensive these devices can be. But, in the end, a cheaper hearing aid from a website may end up costing you more than you had anticipated.

Here are the top five reasons why you should never buy a hearing aid off the Internet:

1 A hearing aid is not one-size-fits-all
Hearing aids need to fit comfortably within your ear. This requires a personalized fitting by a local hearing care specialist.

2 A hearing aid needs to be customized to meet your needs
Wearing someone else’s prescription glasses to correct your vision can cause headaches and dizziness. Similarly, a hearing aid that has not been programmed to treat your specific hearing loss will lead to discomfort and frustration.

3 No post-purchase maintenance
A hearing aid occasionally requires fine-tuning as you adjust to the new and improved sounds. Only a qualified specialist can adjust the settings on your device according to your particular hearing preferences.

4 No follow-up care
Most online sellers are just trying to make a quick buck. So if your hearing aid isn’t working properly, chances are, the seller won’t be able to provide any follow-up care.

5 Cheaper hearing aids are more expensive than you think
Many people who buy their first hearing aid online end up buying a replacement from a certified specialist’s office, shortly thereafter. Why? Because the first device was no good, so they had to spend more money on another device.

    Ms. Kindred,

    Hi! This is my first visit to your blog and read the article about hearing aids (i thought the others didn’t apply to my own blog about seniors).

    Frankly speaking this is also the first time I’ve read about hearing. Never even thought there is so much fuss in buying one. Fortunately, though my left ear is not as acute as my right, I am not totally deaf – yet.

    But I like your article and writing style. Direct to the point and no frills and roundabouts. Thanks and have a nice day.
