I’ve got mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears. I’m considering a pair of used Phonak Naida V UP aids that I can get for ~450. I realize these are older devices, but I wonder if they might work for me. I’m currently trying some Liberty ENC32 aids and I like em, but $2000, sheesh.
Will audiologists fit used hearing aids? And can the V UP use open fit tubing rather than a custom ear mold? And is $450/pair a fair price in 2014?
Thank you!
No, if you look at the fitting range of the Naida V UP you will see your hearing is to good at 1 and 2 K to use them.
Have you considered buying online? Audicus hearing aids are $599 each, and they’re made by Siemens.
More info here:
go to Costco. get their Costco/Amex, get discount, pay off asap, 3 year warranty, unlimited visits, etc…
military service?
Thanks for the feedback.
my hearing is moderately severe at 1000 and 2000 and my audie just sent back a pair of ultra power as more than i need. so i wouldn’t recommend them for you.
