Re: Can you sell HA accessories?

I don't believe It would be illegal to sell hearing aids unless you were

representing yourself as a licensed professional, which you are not. (If there

are laws regarding this, I would imagine they vary from state-to-state.) Your

audi should know. However, if you have a good relationship with your audi or

Children's Hospital, they may even help you find a family with no insurance

coverage who would benefit from the discounted price. Or perhaps a local

Community Service organization like Lions Club would also like to buy them for

someone they are helping. Whoever used these items would still need to see an

audiologist or other professional for fittings, earmolds, settings, etc.--you

are just providing the hardware.

It is possible to buy an FM system online from various suppliers without a

" prescription " so that should be fine to sell I actually discussed this with my

audi, because I could have saved a few hundred dollars, but the caveat is that

I would then have been charged for all fittings and adjustments instead of that

being included in the price so I went through our Children's Hospital.

, I see people selling hearing aids on EBAY all the time. I

know you are not supposed to sell CI stuff because it is an FDA

regulated medical device. At least that is what Cochlear Corp told

someone recently.

I would check with the company about transfer of the warranty if you

do sell them, that may not be transferable.
