Telecarehealth.com is devoted to providing high quality hearing devices at a reasonable cost to consumers with a mild to moderate hearing loss. These devices should provide effective performance to allow individuals to enjoy the benefits of being able to hear the things they have been missing in everyday life.

Hearing loss is one of the most common ailments affecting North Americans. It is estimated that one in 10 adults suffer from some kind of hearing loss. That's the bad news.

The good news is that in most cases the hearing loss is mild to moderate, and typically confined to the higher frequencies ranges. There have been tremendous improvements in digital hearing technology, and today's hearing devices can provide effective relief to allow you to hear what you've been missing with little discomfort and a moderately short adjustment period.

Custom fit hearing aids can be a very expensive investment running into the thousands of dollars. With today's technology, we believe there is no reason to be saddled with such an expensive purchase. Soft fit hearing devices do not need to be custom molded to the ear, yet can provide a very comfortable fit. And if you're like most people with hearing loss, a modern digital hearing device sold directly over the Internet can effectively address your problem at a significantly lower cost.

We invite you to take our online hearing test. It's a short process that will give you some valuable insight into your hearing. Of coarse, you should be careful to ensure that your hearing loss is not based on an underlying medical condition, and we encourage you to consult with a properly trained physician or audiologist.

Telecarehealth.com is dedicated to the proposition that hearing devices should not have to cost an exorbitant amount of money. With modern digital and materials technology, an effective hearing device can be made available for hundreds, rather than thousands of dollars.

As quoted in the Wall Street Journal in March, 2004, "The prices are obscene," says Aaron Thornton, the recently retired director of the audiology program at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, which is affiliated with Harvard Medical School. "The technology can be made for hundreds of dollars; the rest is distribution."

The need to retain custom fit, highly programmable hearing devices will continue to be a requirement for the minority of cases where hearing loss is pronounced, and many consumers who can afford the additional benefits of a highly personalized hearing solution will continue to support the existing retail channels for hearing aids.

Our approach is to use the latest advances in soft gel silicones and digital hearing technology to develop a device that will effectively meet the needs of 80% of those with hearing loss.

Traditionally, hearing aids have required custom fitting, which involved the tricky process of making an ear mold and having a hearing aid custom made for each individual wearer. These devices are further customized to meet the exact hearing needs of each individual. This custom fitting and post purchase fine-tuning process is very expensive.

Luckily, most people with hearing impairments suffer from very similar conditions: a hearing loss in the upper frequencies. Over 80% of the hearing impaired population have only mild to moderate hearing loss. This means that a high quality digital device can be made to fit the needs of most of this group. With the addition of interchangeable soft gel silicone sleeves, the devices can be fit comfortably without the need for the expensive customization approach. This allows us to offer the economies of scale possible to bring down the price of these devices by up to 90%.

For the first time, hearing devices are affordable by most people.

Telecare is committed to bringing the cost of treating hearing loss down, while bringing ever improving digital technology to the person with a mild to moderate hearing loses.
