People who work(ed) for Hearing Aid Specialists, how screwed are you now that your $4,000 hearing aids are now $200 at the major retailers?

Lamborghini is doing ok even though there are cheaper cars that do the same thing with slightly less quality

context please

Surely there's hundreds of Audiologists that just lost a lucrative career, plus their support staff.

I will keep wearing the more expensive ones. Why? Because they are of a much higher quality and most users will realize this if they wear them then try the very cheap ones. The old saying "you get what you pay for" applies well to hearing aids. I don't begrudge those the cheaper ones if it is the only ones they can purchase but if I can still purchase the higher quality hearing aids then I will. Always.

Millions of children west them too. The new rules only apply to adults. I’ll keep taking my ten year old to the audiologist.
