The cost the Phonak marketing manager quotes below   puzzles me - the
filters are not much bigger than a finger-nail clipping and appear to
be punched out of sheets of felt-like material. A dollar a pop seems
incredible. But they are free to charge what they please - I have
previously argued that they missed out on millions by failing to price
their potentially revolutionary Microlink technology. Instead of being
bought by most hearing aid wearers (all brands) the technology hardly
made a ripple, even amongst Phonak users, because of its high cost. I
would estimate its penetration at a fraction of 1% of the potential.
If they really charge this much I can see myself making my own filters
from scrap fabric with a pair of scissors!



But let Phonak have the last word - from an email:



I will forward your suggestion to include more filters to my hearing
instrument colleagues. I am not sure they cost nothing. I estimate the
cost at 1 CHF a piece. If we had to add just one dozen to each hearing
instrument, we have an additional cost of many millions of CHF, so
this is not as straightforward as it may seem. But thanks again for
your suggestion.



With kind regards,



Hans E. Mülder
