I did buy my OpenEar hearing aids from Hearsource.com http://www.hearsource.com.
I found them after they repaired my old Siemens hearing aids. My audiologist had advised me that my old aids could not be repaired. HearSource repaired them for $99 each. They sounded great when I got them back. So much for not being able to be repaired.
When I was on their website I saw the FreeStyle hearing aid. It had similar features to the ones that my audi had recommended to me, but for only $995 each. Several months later (Sep.08) I did purchase hearing aids from HearSource. Now I know that many will ask, “How can hearing aids be adjusted properly if purchased over the internet?” The answer is that I adjust them myself. They provided me with the software, programming box, cables, etc. so I can do it myself. The first time I tried to adjust them I had a HearSource “Coach” help me. I am now comfortable with the process and I do it totally by myself.
I know I hear better than I ever have before with any hearing aid, because I am the one doing the adjusting.
First I saved money by having my Siemens hearing aids repaired (when I was told they could not be repaired) instead of buying new ones. Secondly, when I did purchase new hearing aids I bought them for less that $2,000, and now do the fine tuning myself.
As far as the specs go, they are available on their website.
My Grand Mother could or would not be able to do this without my help, but I can. Good luck.
