On its official website, Nano promotes “invisible” hearing aids with the latest hearing technology. The brand’s goal is to supposedly help Americans get access to hearing aids for 1/20 of the price of traditional or prescription hearing aids by cutting out the middleman. At this point, the “middleman” is audiologists or private practices that provide prescription hearing aids. Launched in 2017, Nano hearing aids have been aggressively marketing their products and is now one of the top-selling online hearing aid brands. The question is – is it wise to invest in Nano hearing aids?

Are Nano hearing aids FDA-registered?

As posted on their official website, Nano hearing products are FDA-registered. However, being registered with the FDA is not the only factor you need to consider when purchasing a hearing aid. Real ear measurement, fitting, adjustment, and programming also play an essential role in ensuring that you are getting the most out of your hearing device.

Quality VS Quantity: Are cheap hearing aids any good?

The price tag is another factor in choosing hearing aids. While Nano hearing aids may come with a super-attractive price point, consumers need to keep in mind that due to its affordability, some other important factors may be compromised.

Realistically-speaking, hearing aids fitted by an audiologist may have a higher price tag than Nano hearing aids, but at the end of the day, they offer higher quality and are usually bundled or packaged with essential hearing care services such as real ear measurement, fitting, adjustment, services, repairs, maintenance, and follow-up sessions.

Nano Hearing Aids Business Model

Nano attracts consumers through their very catchy business model or slogan, which highlights cutting out the middleman. In this concept, the middleman Nano is referring to is highly linked to audiologists and private healthcare practitioners.  When you buy Nano hearing aids, you may enjoy low prices, but when it comes to services and expertise, you’re not getting any. You are getting Nano hearing aids at an insanely low price because you are getting just that – no other perks, services, and expertise.

If you as a consumer, are fine with that, then you can go and try your luck with Nano hearing aids.

However, as practicing audiologists, we highly suggest that you look beyond the attractive price tag and weigh the pros and cons when buying Nano hearing aids, or any over-the-counter hearing device for that matter.

What you may not know is that over-the-counter hearing aids are not required to go through the same safety and efficacy guidelines as prescription hearing aids. In other words, Nano hearing aids have not been tested to the same high standards as prescription hearing aids. Some OTC hearing aids may not meet your needs and may not function as well as you expect.

The moral of the story is – just because Nano hearing aids are cheaper, it doesn’t mean that they are necessarily better or a more wise investment than prescription hearing aids. When it comes to your hearing health, you should always consult with a professional to ensure that you are getting the best possible treatment.

Audiologists have the experience and expertise to help you find the right hearing aid for your individual needs. We can also provide support and guidance throughout your journey to better hearing.

If you’re still on the fence about whether to go with Nano hearing aids or prescription hearing aids, schedule a consultation with an audiologist today. Audiologists will be able to assess your hearing needs and make recommendations based on what’s best for you.
