Would you like the best for the least?
The long story short is that I saved $2390 out of my pocket and saved my health fund $700. One of the major selling points from Phonak is how they can be adjusted via wifi right from your home. Guess what? The audiology company where I bought these from when I inquired about that point told me they couldn't do that. The only thing they would tell me is that they just wont. I'm sure you can guess the reason why. They would not be paid for an office call if I went that route. So you have to schedule a visit, get out of work just to make them happy and cost yourself more money. It was very dissappointing. I was still in my trial period so I returned them and went with Direct Hearing. They were the 1st result that popped up on a search query so I was skeptical. But after that they have been a pleasure to work with. My union health fund from where I retired is even advising the members to go out of network to purchase these because of the huge cost savings. Our fund is locked into a contractual agreement with probably one of the biggest health insurers in New York State and that is the reason they are telling members to go out of network. How many times have you heard of that happening? My opinion is that you can't go wrong.
