Welcome to the Nexear Blog. Nexear is a company dedicated to providing a low cost alternative to costly hearing aids for people with mild to moderate hearing impairment. Watch this Blog over the coming months as we intend to publish as a public service; articles of interest to the hearing impaired community.

Here is a little history on our company.
Nexear was started in 2005 by Jack Carlson and Bob Kidd. We formed the company in response to the following need which we identified and sought to satisfy.
We learned that the majority of people with hearing loss self diagnosed their problem but were reluctant to purchase an aid because of historically high costs. We started Earcon Technologies to develop Nexear hearing aids for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, and were lacking an affordable solution to their hearing problem. The average cost of a hearing aid is in excess of $2000, and the suggested retail price for many Over-The-Ear mini aids is in the $4000 -$5000 range per aid. As a result of this pricing structure many individuals have had to forgo the benefits of amplification because they found the price prohibitive. By comparison the suggested retail price of Nexear aids is in the $300-$500 range.

Nexear hearing aids have been developed so that they are "ready to wear" right out of the box. The aids are pre-programmed with standard response curves and they are delivered with tips and tubes so they can be self-fitted. With Nexear aids you need only to select a tip or tube, insert a battery and you are “good-to-hear”. Today, Nexear not only provides hearing aids for first time users, but additionally to people who seek high-quality replacement aids at an affordable cost.
