Other Brands

There are several other secondary brands and smaller manufacturers in the global and Indian hearing aid market. However, we recommend hearing machines from the larger brands for multiple reasons – better distribution, better after-sales services, better availability of service providers, and lastly that the primary brands usually get the technology much before the secondary brand introduces the same technology.

Some of the smaller hearing aids brands are:

1. Unitron
2. Bernafon
3. Danavox
4. Coselgi
5. Philips
