Subject : Re: Actual Audiologists Salary and Income posted by AudBall on Tue Oct 16, 2007 3:07 am |
| Ed I am horrible at math, but if we were to say hearing aids have a 3 x mark up, that is not much compared to a 10 cent fuse at radio shack that retails at 1.75. Then another example is IEM head phones, www.sensaphonics.com The parts are about 30$ for a SHURE E3 IEM, and they sell for 170$. So while your are correct the system is archiac, I also think it costs A TON to get anything to market. Anything from chicken feed to pencils. Hence the high price on products. Then when you throw in the fact that every hearing aid one day will need some type of service.... human intervention will be required..... costs go up dramatically. |
