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.
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...
