Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone has tried that low cost hearing aid touted by

Ampliear?

http://www.ampliear.com/

I have an enlarged ear canal due to ctoma removal and was concerned

about the sizing...as well as quality and durability. I have already

seen an audiologist and it will cost me $1800.00 for ONE hearing aid

(the insurance policy I have through my employer no longer covers even

a portion of them as of the first of this year. I am considering

applying for state aid but even then I'll have to contribute $400 or

more).

Any insight or advice will be welcome.

Regards,

Hi ,

I've learned a long time ago if something sounds to good to be true,

it most likely isn't. Looking over Ampliear's website, you can tell

they're selling a " snake oil " hearing aid along with they're vitamins

to improve hearing! I agree with you that hearing aids are over

priced; however, they're a lot more complex then just amplifying

sound. Hearing aids " fitted " to an individual amplifys only the

specific sounds needed, not all sounds. I think buying Ampliears

would be the same thing as flushing your money down the toilet. Try

going to an hearing aid center and see if you can get a used trade-in

or discontinued model.

Good Luck!
