Hearing aids have been notoriously high since the first digital hearing aids were released in 1995.

So, before buying new hearing aids consider the options of where and how to buy them:

1. National chains - including Amplifon, Hidden Hearing, Regional Hearing and Boots Hearing Care. These companies offer excellent service and long standing reputation, but they incur very high overheads running their operations nationally and as such are the most expensive option. They are restricted on supplier choice as they are all part owned by one of the suppliers. Prices vary between £500 and £3500 per ear.

2. Local independent retailers - many have been around for years, some are well established and very successful, mostly working from branches. Prices vary from £400 - £2500 per ear.

3. The Internet - there are now several Internet sites promoting the supply of discount hearing aids. Most use a network of independent dispensers working nationally as a group - some use the same group of dispensers. This minimises overheads and helps bring the cost of hearing aids down. Prices still vary from £350 - £1600 per ear, for the latest digital hearing aids released by all the leading suppliers in the world. Read the warning below.

You can make savings of up to almost 60% between the most expensive national chains and the best internet companies. Note: The service and product is exactly the same, and we are all registered with the same governing body - The Health Professions Council.

WARNING: Some other websites promoting hearing aids are not well established, and some are use roaming dispensers travelling the breadth of the country - both could jeopardise your aftercare. You can check how long a company has been in business by checking their date of incorporation via this link - Companies House - only use a company that has been established for at least 2 years or more and check your dispenser is not travelling excessive distance to come out to you.
