New Hearing Aid Review: Nexear!

We just did the research on another hearing aids manufacturer: Nexear. Nexear clearly states their goal right on the front page of their website: enhance the quality of your life by offering affordable hearing aids to improve your hearing.

We think that's a good start. But how will they do that? Nexear Digital Hearing Aids includes the following features:

     
  • Latest technology including adaptive feedback cancellation and noise reduction.
  • High-quality components.
  • Comfortable "self-fit" hearing aids, including Over-The-Ear (OTE) and In-The-Canal (ITC) designs.
  • Affordable and competitive price.
  • Available through major retail chains.
  • Quality customer service after the sale.
  • Our review focuses on their lineup of hearings.

    The general impression that we get from thier lineup is that they are all designed to achieve a perfect balance between superior performance and remarkable value. Not a bad recommendation. Furthermore, they claim to have designed models that are "sensitive to aesthetic appearance and ergonomic comfort." Though, truthfully, looking at the offerings, they don't appear to be overly aesthetic like some of the larger more cutting-edge brands.

    Take a look here to learn more. And remember: buying a hearing aid is complicated and definitely always get the help of a trained specialist before purchasing one.

    Beltone Hearing Aids Donates $500,000!

    Generally we put news items on our blog, but this story really touched us so we thought we'd give it higher exposure. Beltone Hearing Aids employees recently traveled to El Salvador to Donate Hearing Aids valued at over $500,000!

    Three employees from Beltone Hearing Aids New England traveled to El Salvador where they donated their professional services and $500,000 worth of hearing aids to poor hard-of-hearing individuals living in Nueva Esperanza, El Salvador. Most of the people residing in the town are refugees from Nicaragua who fled that country due to civil unrest.

    The team was led by Mr. Ken Startz, Chief Operating Officer for Beltone New England in Warwick, RI.

    The three Beltone employees paid for their own travel expenses and stayed at a local convent for one week from January 24 through February 1, 2009. These employees truly went above and beyond the call of duty.

    In these tough times where so many companies are cutting back, we were extremely happy to hear about Beltone Hearing Aids giving to some of the most needy in our world -- including those not in the United States.

    Cheap Hearing Aids

    "Cheap Hearing Aids" is one of the most searched terms on Google related to hearing aids for a reason: hearing aids are expensive! And with the economy as bad as it is, people are always looking for a deal, even with something as important as hearing.

    While we have written extensively about the seemingly excessive cost of hearing aids and the lack of support that insurance provides, we have never written a piece on cheap hearing aids -- for the simple reason that "cheap" connotes a lack of quality. But we are hear (pun intended) to serve our readers and so we need to address this issue.

    We may sound a bit old fashioned, but no hearing aid is worth even a penny if it does not improve your hearing and life and is reliable. This is our warning against cheap and low cost hearing aids. That being said, there are a few budget hearing aids that can greatly improve someone's life.

    The first brand that we would like to direct you to is Songbird hearing aids. We have an extensive review of songbird hearing aids on our site. These hearing aids could be classified as cheap (or, inexpensive if you prefer). They are the pioneers in disposable hearing aids and they are priced accordingly.

    The crucial thing to know about Songbird hearing aids is that they can be a wonderful and cheap solution for someone with mild hearing loss but this is not the solution for someone with severe hearing loss. But Songbird is a legitimate maker of hearing aids and they will serve you well.

    WARNING about cheap hearing aids:

    There is a scam to watch out for when looking for cheap hearing aids. You can find a number of websites online that promise wholesale prices. This simply is not a good solution. If you are buying a real hearing aid versus a disposable one, despite wanting to save money, you need to buy the hearing aid from a live person who can fit you. Do not buy a hearing aid directly online. You need to personalize your hearing aid with the help of an audiologist.

    Hearing aids 1000 suggests that if you need a low cost or cheap hearing aid that is not disposable you take a look at Audient. Audient is an alliance for accessible hearing and they are committed to making hearing aids afford able. This is the wise choice. Whether you use Audient or another similar service, the trick is not to buy a cheap hearing aid but to utilize any and all services that exist that can help you make the top level hearing aids such as Siemens, Rexton, Oticon and more affordable.
