Abstract

Gone are the days when the market expects you to conform to a prescribed method of buying a hearing aid. Corporations large and small are ready to give you what you want and bring it your turf. Want it at Costco? How about at the mall? Maybe you prefer boutique-style shops or the traditional doctor's office. Or if you want to shop in your pajamas from the comfort of home, you can do that too. In a box, with a fox, in a house, with a mouse, here, there...you can get hearing aids anywhere.
