eBay hearing aid prices

can you send me Amanda’s email?
thanks

I have discussed with the Siemens, Oticon and Starkey reps about online sales. All of them forbid it explicitly. I, too have seen the hearing aids being sold online by ebay seller, bidbybid… You can be sure Siemens knows about him as well. I was told that if the hearing aid warranty will not be honored and that the seller will be tracked down and his account canceled. I agree, online sales are attractive, especially for the more savvy, hearing-impaired consumer, as most of you here are. I’m sure in the next 10 years, we will see this more commonplace and I welcome it, even though it is my profession.

The manufactures already know who is selling these aids. There is nothing they can do expect not warranty them. I know, I have been through all this with Resound. They sure don’t wont to say much which believes me to think they are selling them as returns. They have no record of the serial numbers. Either that or someone at their factories are getting them out before being logged. As for shutting the seller down? It will never happen. If there is a demand there will be a supply.

Obviously Siemens knows that bidbybid on Ebay is a major account.

This bidbybid is a highly ethical, very tech competant outfit. Their track record is immaculate. Any experienced HOH that wants high value IMO should consider purchasing from them.

Those HOH that want or need more personal hand holding, should of course, seek a local professional. Just my opinion based on my technical background and almost 40 years as a hearing aid user. Ed;)
