Hearing Aids
Individuals interested in purchasing a hearing instrument should be aware that the Food and Drug Administration has determined that it would be in your best interest to have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician or surgeon who specialized in diseases of the ear) before purchasing one or more hearing instruments.
Purchasing Policy for Physicians Hearing Center
All hearing aids come with a 30 day trial period. If you decide for any reason that you are unsatisfied, you may return the hearing aid(s) for a refund (ear mold costs associated with a behind the ear hearing aid are non- refundable).
Upon deciding to purchase an aid, we require half the purchase price at the time you are fit with the hearing aid(s) and the balance at the completion of the 30 day trial period.
