I purchased my last two pair of hearing aids on ebay from sellers who did allow returns. The price was 5% of retail, and they were easily reprogrammable by a source I found by internet search. I used an audiogram I received from a university audiology department, although I had to wait two weeks and then go the the Medical Records Department to pick up the report, because I refused to pay $5,500 for the pair they wanted me to buy.
I sent the second pair I bought on eBay back to the same programming service because I needed to have the volume increased (at no charge). They charged $200.00 to do the programming to begin with. I will never again buy from a traditional audiology practice because of the lack of competition and the fact that the audiologists have been a part of the market manipulation for decades. I am using the term traditional as opposed to an audiologist who has a doctorate and will program hearing aids purchased from someone else or on eBay. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and have yet to find the latter.

The first pair I bought on eBay were Oticon Ino Pro aids for $300.00. That’s for a pair. I sent them to New Hampshire for reprogramming. I used them for two years until the dog ate one. Before buying, I would suggest thorough searching on the internet on pricing and on getting what you need for your hearing loss. I am in the process of buying a new pair on eBay, because after three years, the hearing aids need to be serviced and I need a second pair. I just had hearing tests done at Costco and Sam’s Club. I got a copy of my reports from both. Costco let me try on their Kirkland Signature™ Premium Digital Hearing Aids selling for $1,699.99 a Pair. “Oh!” said the technician, “These won’t work for you because you need more power.” She tried to move me up to a pair that sold for twice as much. I took my report and left. I went to Sam’s club, and they had a pair, under their brand that sold for $4,300/pair. They wouldn’t work with bluetooth from my Android phone. I took my report and passed on that too. Shopping on eBay now.
