There is a new web site devoted to helping hearing-aid buyers sort through what products on the market will best meet their needs and find a reputable audiologist nearby who can help them. Buy a Hearing Aid provides detailed information about the major hearing aid brands and makes it easy to compare and contrast features and benefits. And if you provide them with your zip code and email address, they will refer you to an audiologist in your neighborhood who can fit you with a new pair of hearing aids.
Buyers need to beware of the growing number of sites on the web that purport to offer information on hearing-aid choices, but which have actually been set up just to generate search traffic and advertising revenue, without offering substantive or even helpful information. That’s why it’s nice to see an addition to the few reputable sites (such as Hearing Planet which I’ve written about before) that are staffed by professionals who know what advice consumers need and who can provide appropriate referrals to the right kind of hearing-health professionals.
The Buy a Hearing Aid site is the brainchild of Mark Brumback of Hearing Aid Express, one of the largest independently owned and operated hearing-aid sellers in the U.S. with primary locations in Houston and Dallas, Texas. (It is also among the first North American hearing-aid companies to sell the new Panasonic line of hearing aids). Hearing Aid Express fits multiple brands of hearing aids, and the company’s breadth and depth of knowledge of the various hearing-aid brands is now presented on the Buy a Hearing Aid site for three classes of consumers: those who have never owned hearing aids, those who currently own hearing aids, and those who are interested in buying hearing aids.
Petar Dimov, a web developer and search optimization expert, built the site and is developing a comprehensive database of all hearing aid brands and models. Audiologists can pay a small annual fee to have details of their practice presented on the site including any sales offers to attract local customers.
