When Patrick Freuler started Audicus, he had a mission of providing hearing aids to the public at a reasonable price. By cutting out the middleman, he hoped to decrease the overhead cost involved in hearing aid production. While the idea may have seemed revolutionary at the time, other industries followed a similar model, disrupting the retail industry, making his idea not as crazy. Over time, Audicus provided hearing aids and collected countless positive reviews along the way. Now that we hit the 20,000 mark for hearing aids sold, it’s our turn to thank you!
Taking a walk down memory lane, we can revisit some of the countless consumer stories. Back in October 2014, we caught up with Wally Savoy who needed a commercial driver’s license for his job. After failing the hearing test, he realized he needed to purchase hearing aids, but did not have the funds. With the help of Audicus, he was able to quickly return to work and pass his license test with the aid of Audicus’ in-canal hearing aids.
In February 2015, Ronald Clayton told us about his personal experience with hearing aids. As a professor he needed to hear his students – even the ones in the far back of the classroom. After experiencing some apprehension about purchasing hearing aids online, he decided to buy from Audicus and couldn’t be happier about his choice. His interactions with the Audicus audiologists were positive, and he walked away with a pair of well-fitting, well-programmed hearing aids.
Vera Schlesinger chatted with us in September 2016. After a gentle push from her husband led her to exploring hearing aids, she found Audicus to be a cheaper, yet still a quality product. She said “it’s the fear of aging that stops us from investing in the devices that help us. If you have hearing loss, you should get them [hearing aids]. Do it to stay young.” No matter how old or young the client, Audicus hearing aids have proven to be a great solution to hearing loss.
