News Flash! There is some new advertising which promises “significant benefits” with “new” technology. They don’t tell you what is new, but it sounds like a come on. Again, you get the feeling this is the greatest thing and too good to be true. Well, if is sounds too good….. don’t be fooled. If you have questions, call or email. Also, you may wish to check with the American Academy of Audiology for more information. FALSE ADVERTISING IN THE HEARING AID INDUSTRY You probably have seen those full page advertisements stating that particular hearing aids were made for and are only available at particular offices. Well, for the most part that is not true. This is just a clever attempt to obtain your business. The reality is, most companies that provide hearing aids have access to products from most hearing aid manufacturers. Have you also seen the hearing aid advertisements stating “new breakthrough” in technology? But did you know that a large number
of these companies are showing hearing aids that are at least a year old?
Hmmmm. You need to be very careful in what these advertisements promise. A good rule of thumb is before you buy, check out different hearing aid providers.
