@dwi. Have you checked out hearing aid availability in Thailand? I remember reading before I visited there that Thailand was a medical tourist destination center. I just did a google search on hearing aids there. One article said it is a medical tourist destination center for people wanting to get less expensive hearing aids. I didn't scroll down through all the articles, but Phonax hearing aids and Starky hearing aids were mentioned as being available there, along with others, I'm sure. If they didn't have the specific model you were looking for, they could probably order it for you. I don't think less expensive means inferior, but Gina @earscan can probably help with that issue. The markup in cost for exactly the same drug in the States as compared with the rest of the world is obscene. Just a thought. Nancy
@dwi. oops this got away from me before I finished it.sorry...I saw your reply below so please ignore my other post
Yes, I have mine cleaned and adjusted in Bangkok. They do not receive the latest aids as soon as US does, maybe a year behind. It was the same in Malaysia.
