Ep 36: 5 Things to Look For When Buying Used Hearing Aids

In this episode Christopher Medina from Virtue Hearing goes over what you need to look for when you are using USED hearing aids.

Some people might buy them from Craigslist, Offer up, Facebook Marketplace and many other places.

If you are thinking about buying USED hearing aids here are some things you need to look out for:

1) Do your research: Know the difference between a hearing aid and hearing amplifier.

Did you know, you could only buy a new hearing aid at a licensed hearing aid dispenser. Don't get tricked into buying

2) Make sure the device is from a well known brand such as: Unitron, Starkey, Signia etc.

3) Don't buy custom hearing aids: These are molded to the original owners ear and not yours. They might not fit you and you might spend a good amount of money to remold the device. It might be best to buy a new one.

4)Check to see if the hearing aid device actually functions before you complete your purchase. This will help you avoid potential repair costs.

Check to see if the batteries are chargeable or not.

5) Even when you buy used hearing aids you STILL need to see a hearing aid specialist to customize the settings to your hearing needs.

If you are in the Los Angeles area please feel free to come to Virtue Hearing for a FREE hearing exam:
