One Size Does Not Fit All - Why a Walmart Hearing Aid May Not Be What You’re Looking For

Key Takeaways

• Walmart hearing aids often follow a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not meet your unique hearing requirements. 
• Many Walmart devices are also simple sound amplifiers that amplify all sounds (and noises) - they’re not FDA-registered hearing aids. 
• Nano Hearing Aids offers FDA-registered Class I OTC hearing aids with customizable settings, a variety of domes for the perfect fit, and 24/7 customer support.
• Nano OTC hearing aids are suitable for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

Walk into Walmart and you can buy almost anything - from groceries to gardening supplies all under one roof. Sure, that may make things easier on you and your list of errands, but can you trust that you’re getting the best that’s out there?

If you or someone you love is living with hearing loss, you might be tempted to add Walmart hearing aids to your shopping list. But you should choose a personalized approach from a company that cares about you and your hearing – and that’s our mission at Nano Hearing Aids.

Nano Hearing Aids are FDA-registered, Class I devices. These OTC hearing aids are designed for individuals over 18 years of age with perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment. Nano won the Top ENT Solution Provider 2023, has 24/7 customer care, and has an affordable price compared to others. 

One problem with buying a hearing aid from Walmart is that it will be difficult to discern the good from the bad, so it’s a good idea to do some research to make sure you’re buying the right product.

To make sure you’re getting the type of hearing aid you need, you will need to study all of the products the store has available, which is not something that everyone has the time, ability or interest to do.

While some Walmart hearing aids are FDA-registered, many of them are merely sound amplifiers. These devices are usually cheap too - since it’s just not possible to make a bona fide hearing aid under a certain price point.

It’s advisable not to buy these sound amplifiers from Walmart just because they’re cheap. Generally speaking, hearing amplifiers will augment all frequencies of sound – both necessary and unnecessary ones – while hearing aids work carefully to optimize only the sounds that you are having trouble hearing.

While there are some great OTC models on the market, like Nano Hearing Aids, many people may feel there is just something weird about purchasing a hearing aid that is over the counter at a huge supermarket, especially when Walmart hearing aids subscribe to the idea of one-size-fits-all.

If you are shopping for a child or someone who has more profound hearing problems, a sound amplifier will not help you, and you will need a more intricate hearing aid solution.

While you might be tempted to buy Walmart hearing aids, big box stores don’t have the expertise, care or passion that specialized companies like Nano Hearing Aids do. In fact, Nano Hearing Aids came about because of an experience that our founder had with his grandmother at Christmas.

When he realized that she was having trouble hearing, despite the fact that she had very costly hearing aids, he wanted to do something about it. With engineers on his team and a desire to cut out the middle man, Nano Hearing Aids was founded with the goal to bring a positive hearing experience to those experiencing hearing loss.

Since 2017, Nano Hearing Aids has helped over 200,000 Americans recover from their hearing loss difficulties. At Walmart, you are left to your own devices to research and understand the products they offer. But at Nano, we are with you every step of the way, 24/7.

Here are some other important details about our products: 

• Each of our Nano devices is FDA registered as Class 1, meaning they are real hearing aids and not merely amplifiers. 
• Each hearing aid has a variety of settings to augment your hearing in just the way you need it to be done.
• You do not need a prescription or an audiogram (hearing test) to purchase our hearing aids.
• Our technology allows for different modes and volumes to find the perfect sound combination for you.

• Although there is no physical Nano Hearing Aids store, your device will come with several sets of domes to find the perfect fit for you. Over 95% of people find a perfect match. 
• Our hearing aid specialists will help you every step of the way. By calling (877) 494-7052, you will be connected to an expert who will have you hearing in no time.
• Your hearing aid order will be shipped from our logistics center in Las Vegas in one business day and it should arrive at your doorstep in five to seven business days - depending on how reliable the delivery service is.
• And if you’re not satisfied with the device within the first 45 days of use, you can ask for a full refund. 

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Walmart hearing aids might offer you convenience and a cheap price, but you really have no way of knowing if they are offering the quality hearing aids that you need.

At Nano Hearing Aids, we work hard to make your personalized hearing aid devices affordable and powerful to manage your perceived mild to moderate hearing loss situation.

Why are Walmart hearing aids not ideal for everyone?

Walmart hearing aids are not ideal for everyone because they often use a generic design that doesn’t address individual hearing needs. Many are sound amplifiers, which boost all sounds rather than targeting specific hearing challenges.

What makes Nano Hearing Aids better than Walmart hearing aids?

Nano Hearing Aids are better than Walmart hearing aids because of the FDA-registered Class I hearing aids that are customized to individual needs. Our devices come with features like customizable modes, a variety of domes for a secure fit, and round-the-clock expert support.

Can I use an over-the-counter hearing aid for severe hearing loss?

No, OTC hearing aids, including those at Walmart, are designed for mild to moderate hearing loss in adults. People with more severe hearing issues need a more advanced solution.

What happens if I’m not satisfied with my Nano Hearing Aid?

If you’re not satisfied with your Nano hearing device, you can return it for a full refund since we give a 45-day satisfaction guarantee.
