Is there a market for used hearing aids in excellent condition?
Used hearing aids in good condition are usually given to a hearing aid bank for donation to a needy individual. The cost of a new hearing aid usually includes the device itself and the professional services needed to keep the hearing aids working for many years. Because of this, the resale of a hearing aid is much less than the purchase price. Also, the warranty on a hearing aid goes to the person purchasing the device from the manufacturer, and is generally nontransferable. Therefore, anyone getting a used hearing aid will have to pay for adjustments and upkeep on a visit-by-visit basis. See if you can sell you hearing aid on Ebay or Craig's list if you like, but if you can't, a donation to your local hearing aid bank with make you and someone else feel good.
