Dakhar Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) Dr. John Moulton Au.D. ccc-a American trained & licensed audiologist (the only doctorate level audiologist in Thailand) Cell: 08-7003-6070 Yes most hearing aids are MFG/assembled in China Yes prices are cheaper in Thailand for the same products. About 50% cheaper. Estimated prices range 1K USD - 3.5K USD for mid to high quality digital hearing aids (depending where you get them, and this is a price gouge warning) Edited August 24, 2007 by Dakhar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 How much are good Hearing Aids in LOS?I think most are made in China so they should be much cheaper than the US. Who do I contact. $699?? Here's some info via google: An ad, Sukumvit Soi 22: http://www.thaiwaysmagazine.com/bangkok_ad...th_hrc/hrc.html same place it looks like, brand specific: http://www.eartone.com/ A discussion, Samantha Brown: http://www.fourelephants.com/health.php?sid=140 xxxxxxxxxx Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakhar Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 699$ for a Two channel product.... Two channel products are low end. (From an American market stand point) They would run about 1000 to 1500$ in the US. In such a case, you would be paying mostly for labor than technology. Mid line products have around 7 channels, while most high end are 20+ & some out to 64 channels. All three links that were provided are the same co. The news/pay add (third link) is actually the owner of HRC/Ear Tone. In Thailand today, there is one college that offers a BS degree in Audiology. In America, to be an Audiologist, one is required to have a doctorate degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepyjohn Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I just discovered I need an aid for both ears. It's now nearly 3 years on since the last answer in this thread, and Eartone are offering a completely-in-canal unit for $699. This isn't still just a 2-channel is it? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetaroi Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I can't tell you about price, because I already had mine when I arrived. However, when I needed to have mine cleaned, a very good shop was in the building adjacent to the Lumpini subway station that has many health businesses and offices inside. Not sure of the name of the building or the name of the business, but they were efficient and reasonably priced for their services. Just go in and explore...it's a nice building with a couple of good restaurants...I only saw one hearing aide place there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
