CommentRegarding the sale and purchase of NEW HEARING AIDS, they are offered and provided on a COST PLUS BASIS. Not on the PREMISE of whatever the traffic will bear.
Such pricing is in keeping with the Policy of Medicaid and Medi-cal. They compensate on a Cost Plus Basis.
The FINAL SALES PRICE is usually at least 50% below anyone else selling and fitting hearing aids. ANYONE.
THAT INCLUDES THE PRICES AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET.
THE INTERNET PROVIDERS USUALLY COMPENSATE THE PARTICIPATING DISPENSERS, WHOEVER THEY ARE, AT A RATE OF $500 FITTING FEE PER HEARING AID.
SUCH PRICING,WHILE USUALLY BELOW THE LOCAL PROVIDERS OF HEARING AIDS,IS USUALLY STILL TWICE AS EXPENSIVE AS THOSE HEARING AIDS OFFERED BY SURF CITY HEARING AIDS.
EXACT SAME PRODUCT AND WARRANTY.
SURF CITY HEARING AID CENTER also sells RECONDITIONED,USED,AND WHAT ARE CLASSIFIED AS "DEMO" HEARING AIDS, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE BEEN USED AS DEMONSTRATORS.
SURF CITY HEARING AIDS, can repair or replace any Hearing Aid ever made.
ANY CUSTOM MADE HEARING AID CAN BE REMADE. That means that if the Ear has changed shape and the CUSTOM MADE HEARING AID no longer fits, usually resulting in SQUEALING, a NEW SHELL can be made utilizing the existing electronic components.
If New Electronics are required because of a CHANGE IN HEARING LOSS, REQUIREMENTS,DESIRES,OR OPTIONS, they can be installed in either a NEW SHELL OR THE EXISTING SHELL, AS WHAT IS CALLED AN UPGRADE.
They will also upgrade any OLD EXISTING HEARING AID TO A NEW DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING CIRCUIT.
The only thing that is used when a Hearing Aid is Remade, or Upgraded, is the Original Serial Number.
A typical Hearing Aid Repair usually involves ELECTRONIC COMPONENT REPLACEMENT.
SUCH AS A MICROPHONE OR RECEIVER (SPEAKER)
SOMETIMES IT A BROKEN SOLDER JOINT, WIRE, BAD SWITCH, OR POT.
If the only problem is the RECEIVER TUBE OR THE MICROPHONE BEING OBSTRUCTED WITH EAR WAX, THEN THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR IN-OFFICE REPAIRS.
IF THE EXISTING SHELL FITS THE EAR, THEN A NEW FACEPLATE CAN BE INSTALLED.
IF THE BATTERY DOOR HINGE PIN IS DISLODGED, A NEW FACEPLATE CAN BE INSTALLED.
IF THE EXISTING HEARING AID IS STEPPED ON, CHEWED UP, RUN OVER, OR IN ANY OTHER WAY IS PHYSICALLY DAMAGED, A NEW SHELL, IF IT IS A CUSTOM MADE HEARING AID CAN BE MADE TO REPLACE IT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A NEW HEARING AID IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ONE.
ITS AT LEAST WORTH A TOLL FREE PHONE CALL TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR OPTIONS ARE BEFORE YOU BUY A NEW HEARING AID.
EVEN IF ALL YOU WANT IS HONEST ADVICE OR FREE CONSULTATION, DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL THE TOLL FREE NUMBER: (800) 432-7114.
NEW HEARING AIDS ARE BEING OVER SOLD AS MEETING UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS.
THEY ARE BEING SOLD AT UNREAL PRICES, SOMETIMES PROVIDING PROFITS OF $5,000 PER HEARING AIDS.
THAT MEANS THAT THE MOST EXPENSIVE HEARING AID SOLD BY ANY MANUFACTURER DOESN'T COST ANY DISPENSER MORE THAN $1,000.
ANYTHING BEYOND THAT IS CALLED PROFIT.
