The Case for Online Support for Hearing Aid Accessories and Hearing Solutions For People with Hearing Loss;  Hears Hearing & Hearables Offers a New Delivery Model

In the ever-evolving landscape of the hearing aid industry, transparency around pricing and product availability has become a contentious issue. At Hears Hearing & Hearables, we believe in transparent pricing supported by robust online hearing support to ensure our customers make informed decisions.

Two of the leading hearing aid manufacturers, Oticon and Phonak, have implemented policies that restrict this transparency. Oticon, owned by Demant, has taken a stringent stance by prohibiting the online posting of their products altogether, although professionals can discuss and market them. Phonak, owned by Sonova, allows their products to be seen online but strictly forbids the posting of prices.  We believe at Hears Hearing & Hearables, the reason they are choosing lack of transparency is holding an old model and will ultimately be bad for the customer. 

Hears Hearing & Hearables prides itself on strong customer service and professional support, distinguishing itself from online marketplaces like Amazon. While some manufacturers encourage hiding prices for hearing aid accessories, a service-oriented provider like Hears Hearing & Hearables with transparent pricing will not only help the customers but also the providers who can have a more flexible work schedule working online with people who need accessible and affordable products.

Ensuring Optimal Compatibility and Functionality using our online support system

Professional Guidance on Compatibility:

Accessories like chargers, batteries, and domes must be compatible with specific hearing aid models. At Hears Hearing & Hearables, professionals ensure that users receive accessories that are perfectly suited for their devices.

While we don’t hide prices, we are encouraging consultations. Hears Hearing & Hearables tries to prevent users from purchasing incompatible accessories that could negatively affect or not work with their hearing aids or solution(s).

Maintaining High Performance:

Properly selected accessories are crucial for the optimal performance of hearing aids. The expertise provided by Hears Hearing & Hearables ensures that users get the right accessories to maintain or enhance their device’s functionality.

This approach helps prevent issues such as inadequate charging or poor battery life. Leading to better user satisfaction and hearing aid effectiveness.

This approach protects users from low-quality or counterfeit products that could damage their hearing aids or pose safety risks.

Proper Usage Education:

Accessories, especially those that require regular handling, can be misused without proper guidance. Professional consultations at Hears Hearing & Hearables ensure users understand how to use and maintain their accessories.

Educating users on proper usage and care can prevent damage to the hearing aids and extend the lifespan of both the devices and accessories.

Providing Cost-Effective Solutions with the Online Support Video Call

Highlighting Value Packages:

During consultations, users can be informed about value packages and bundled services that include accessories. This can offer cost-effective solutions that might not be apparent through online listings alone.

Bundling accessories with services provides better value and convenience, reducing the overall cost of ownership and maintenance.

Offering Financing Options:

Similar to hearing aids, the cost of accessories can be managed through financing options explained during professional consultations. This makes it easier for users to afford necessary accessories without financial strain.

Ensuring users are aware of and can access financing options promotes continuous and proper use of accessories, maintaining the effectiveness of the hearing aids.

This instant online accessibility helps users feel confident in their purchases and supported in their hearing health:

Ensuring compatibility and functionality, encouraging comprehensive support, preventing misuse and ensuring safety, providing cost-effective solutions, and enhancing user trust and satisfaction are all critical factors.  While the manufacturers don’t want people to only shop price, Hears Hearing & Hearables will also offer online accessible support.

Balancing Transparency and Support: The Case for Combining Online with In-Person Hearing Aid Services

At Hears Hearing & Hearables, we believe that transparent pricing combined with robust online support is crucial for empowering consumers to make informed decisions about their hearing health. However, it is important to recognize that providing strong customer service and accessibility support comes with its own costs. This valuable service must be respected and valued by our customers.

To ensure that the quality of service remains high, we have chosen to keep the cost of service affordable but separate from the product pricing. Our goal is not to nickel and dime you, but to offer a clear distinction between the product and the professional care that enhances its effectiveness. By doing so, we maintain the integrity of both the products we offer and the exceptional support we provide. We believe this approach best serves the interests of our customers, ensuring they receive the best possible care and value.

Recognizing that online service alone hasn’t been sufficient, we’ve created Hears Hearing & Hearables to offer exceptional customer service. This high level of support comes at a small cost, but it ensures our customers receive the best care possible.
