"They asked me for €2,800 for hearing aids. I found the same technology for €149."

A French audiologist explains why thousands of retirees are abandoning overpriced clinics — and what they're using instead.

If you often ask people to repeat themselves, if you turn up the TV louder than before, or if family meals have become an exhausting hubbub... you're not alone. And most importantly: it's not inevitable, nor a matter of budget.

For years, I saw patients leave the audiologist's office with a quote for €2,500, €2,800, sometimes €3,000 — and then give up. Too expensive. Too complicated. Too many appointments. So they continue to struggle to hear... in silence.

What the industry doesn't tell you is that the technology inside these devices has never been more accessible. The price difference doesn't come from the electronic chip. It comes from the intermediaries' margin.

The real problem: price, not technology

A device sold for €2,800 in a clinic and a modern device sold directly often share the same components: multi-channel digital amplification, noise reduction, directional microphones. What you pay extra for are the storefronts, commissions, and lengthy appointments.

This is exactly what gave birth to Claria™: a rechargeable, discreet hearing aid, sold directly — without a clinic, without a mandatory prescription, delivered to your home.
