Topic: The Great Hearing-Aid Rip-off!

[Cherry99]

Recently I've been having problems with my hearing so decided to get it tested.
Went to my local shop and they said I have about 40% hearing loss!
So then we get the prices:
$6000 for 2 state of the art hidden devices.
$1500 for a more visible model.
$650 for the standard behind the ear model.
All with 60 day money back guarantee!
Decided to leave it for now and do my homework.
Found some Internet sites where a specialist comes to your home, tests for hearing loss but quotes a lot less for the aids.
All with the 60 day money back guarantee - They don't do a behind the ear model.
What a rip-off!!!
Do people really fall for this and pay such marked up prices?
Beats me!!!

Never go to specsavers for a NHS hearing aid as they won't install programs for free you have to pay extra. They are selling a product not a service. They stay in business because people pay the money.
