Buy Hearing Aids Online?
A Few Thing To Consider Before You Buy Hearing Aids Online (Or Anywhere For That Matter).
Having trouble hearing? Do you think hearing aids might help? You can go to a local hearing aid store and find a few different styles. Or, you can go online and find about every style, make, and model of hearing aids that the industry has to offer. You will also find that when you buy hearing aids online, you save money, lots of money. However, before you buy hearing aids online, there are some things you should know:
- A hearing aid just doesn’t make sounds louder. Hearing aids are complex instruments.
- Hearing aids must be programmed or adjusted for your specific hearing loss, lifestyle and personal preferences.
- Hearing aids WILL need followup sound adjustments, service and professional support.
Many times, when you buy hearing aids online, they do not come with professional fitting or support (and some do)
There are many options to buy hearing aid online, but some online hearing aid stores don’t or can’t provide professional fitting, support, or sound adjustment services. Those who buy hearing aids online from these type of vendors (eBay, etc.) are left hoping that their hearing aids fit properly and sound reasonable when they arrive (and they usually don’t).
We at HearSource, are committed to providing the very best in hearing aid technology, with fair affordable pricing and provide you with ALL the customer support that you could ever need. Prior to shipping any of our hearing aids to you, we pre-program them to your specific hearing loss, just like they would if you were being fitted by a local hearing aid provider.
After you receive your hearing aids, if there is any fine tuning or sound adjustments necessary, we accomplish this conveniently via modern technology (TeleHealth Hearing Care or Virtual Care) using your smartphone or internet connected PC. You never even have to leave your home.
Remote Fitting, Support, Sound Adjustments & Counseling
And Much More Via Your Smartphone.
Do you always save money when you buy hearing aids online?
No. Many online hearing aid vendors claim they will save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars by purchasing through them. What they don’t mention is that their products or services are of inferior technology, quality or lack professional support or warranty services.
At HearSource we publish our hearing aid prices for everyone to see, along with information about the manufacturer, specific model, features, warranties, etc., allowing you to make an informed decision. All of our hearing aids are from the best hearing aid manufacturers in the world, offering the highest level of technology in the world.

Some online hearing aid vendors are owned by manufacturers
Some hearing aid manufactures offer their brands directly to the public. These websites promote their parent company’s brand exclusively without disclosing that relationship to their customers.
At HearSource, we have no bias to any one particular brand and instead will recommend the right hearing device for you. The brands of hearing aids that we have selected to represent are of the highest quality, technologies, and performance levels available anywhere in the world.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT HEARING AID
The first step to buy hearing aids online from HearSource is to submit a recent hearing test (audiogram) to us at Info@HearSource.com. Many people simply take a picture of their hearing test and send it to us using their smartphone. After reviewing your audiogram, we try to contact you and discuss the appropriate features that you will need or desire. We try to match the hearing aid’s features and technology level to your hearing loss, budget, and lifestyle.
Selecting the right hearing aid for your lifestyle
Considering the impact that hearing aids have in their user’s lives, the number of hours that you’ll be wearing them a day, and the fact that no two people have the exact same lifestyle, it’s important that your hearing match not only your hearing loss, but your life as well.
Some people will want to integrate their smartphone and their hearing aids into a system whereby they can receive calls through their smartphones and be able to hear the call through their hearing aids. Some people do not have a smartphone and that technology is unimportant to them. Matching the right hearing aid to the user’s unique needs, desires and lifestyle is an important consideration.
Your complete satisfaction is our only goal.
