Would you buy or sell a hearing aid through this site?
A few people have responded to my article about second hand hearing aids - there’s been a few offering aids either cheaply or for free and a few people asking for them.
Would you consider using this site to buy or sell a hearing aid?
If enough people are interested and you feel that this site is a trusted place to buy and sell hearing aids then I’ll try and set something up. A deaf Craigslist or something like that. I’m not looking to make any money from this - I strongly believe many people would benefit from a second hand market and I would love to see it happen.
Please let me know what you think. Good or bad idea? Legal minefield? Would you, or do you know someone, who would use it?
We have a pair of Siemens CENTRA Active - CIELO 2 Active hearing aids. We purchased them this year, my mother wore them approximately 2 weeks………and unfortunately passed away in March 2008. We would love to have these hearing aids used by someone - but we did pay thousands and if there is a chance we can sell them, naturally at a lower price, that would be our first choice. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Nancy,
I am planning on adding a section to this site to allow people to buy and sell hearing aids online. I’m hoping it’ll be ready in 2-4 weeks. It will be completely free to use - so if you can wait a few weeks then you will be able to sell those aids on this site!
Cheers,
Steve.
Please see my comments under “Donate your old hearing aids to charity “. What happened with your goal of setting up a kind of craigs list for hearing aids? I would do anything to get my father an old hearing aid, I have no disposable income and have used my credit card almost to the max to pay for caring for my parents. I would do anything to have my father hear again. He used to love music.
