Have questions? 1 (800) 804-0434
Answering the question of how long your hearing aid will last is tricky. There is no solid answer for any one person. However, on average, a hearing aid will last in the 3 to 5 year range (closer to 5 in most cases). There are a lot of determining factors that can affect your hearing aid life.
At Advanced Affordable Hearing, one of the questions we get asked quite frequently is: "Do you buy or sell used hearing aids?" The short answer is 'no,' but it is not as simple as a one-word answer. For one reason or another, there are times when hearing aid owners are looking to sell their expensive used hearing aids, and here's why we don't get involved with it.
According to the September 2015 PCAST report on the state of hearing technology, there are millions of Americans with hearing loss that do not buy hearing aids because they simply cannot afford them. This is bad news, and is truly an injustice to people who are simply hoping to hear better. Fortunately, there are options for those who have hearing loss and are on a tight budget.
Medicare and most insurance companies do not include hearing instruments as part of their coverage. That leaves many people stuck in a situation where they need a hearing aid but simply cannot afford it. By selling hearing aids online, Advanced Affordable Hearing is able to offer quality hearing aids for a reasonable price. This opens the door for people to purchase hearing aids online without draining their bank account.
Hearing aids range in price from as low as $10 to as high as $8,000 if you go to a local provider. The difference in prices is due to cost to seller, the hearing aid model, and the hearing aid's features.
The major hearing aid companies like Phonak, Siemens, Starkey, and Miracle Ear all have hearing aids that start at prices over $1000 (or more!). At Advanced Affordable Hearing, most of our hearing aids are priced under $350. People often want to know how we sell hearing aids for such a low price price. The answer is simple...
There are many reasons why people who have a hearing deficiency don't purchase hearing aids. Hopefully, we can help clarify some of those obstacles and help inform you on how to tackle the issue.
