Wal-mart has long been synonymous with variety. You can buy clothes, shoes, games, food…if you can think it, there’s probably already a huge aisle dedicated to it.

But hearing aids??

Yup, now you can even buy hearing aids at your local Walmart.You heard that right hearing aids!

Nestled within certain Walmart supercenters are Amplifon Hearing Aid Centers. Not only do they offer the low prices Walmart has become nearly synonomous with, they offer a variety of services, including:

• Full service coverage

• Full damage coverage

• Full warranty

I’m not sure this is such a good idea as hearing aids should be customized to every patient and even though they are low-cost, in this industry you get what you pay for. They don’t offer diversity and choices between different manufacturers. The only positive out of it is that they are providing hearing aids for the 36 million individuals that have some sort of hearing loss.

Be forewarned with this piece of news.
