Congress Lends Ear to Price-Gouged Hearing Aid Users… Sort Of

-

The Good News?

Hearing aid prices are going down!

The Bad News?

Congress wants you to wait... But you don’t have to! Popular, doctor-made hearing aid costs Less Than $200!

For millions of Americans who need hearing aids but can’t afford them, here’s some welcome news.

After years of listening to consumer complaints about overpriced hearing aids, the US Congress has come to the rescue… so to speak.

MDHearingA­ids cost less, yet are FDA-registered, rigorously tested by audiologis­ts, and work as well or better than more expensive devices.

Crisp, Clear Sound

“I created these affordable hearing aids to precise technical specificat­ions,” says the doctor, “each designed so the range of sounds associated with the human voice is amplified without overly amplifying background sounds.”

“They have great sound clarity,” says new MDHearingA­id customer, Phillip G. “They work for my hearing loss exceptiona­lly well. I have had them for two weeks and they only get better with time.”
