The number of hearing aid adjustment channels sold in Japanese franchise stores is at least4Even4The number of models of the channel machine is also small. Not a mainstream product, generally sold more6-8A hearing aid that adjusts the number of channels. So what is the price of these hearing aids? We take a brand (specific brands are not explained here) as an example of a back-mounted hearing aid for everyone to explain this brand.4The retail price of the channel hearing aids in Japanese stores is9About 10,000 yen (calculated at the current exchange rate5500Yuan yuan), this price is basically the lowest price of Japanese hearing aid franchise stores, of course, the sales process may have a discount, the same brand same model4The channel hearing aids are priced at domestic retail price.2300About RMB yuan, it seems that our domestic hearing aids are cheaper than developed countries, but this is only a comparison of economical hearing aid prices.

This may be one of the main differences between a mature market and a developing market. On the one hand, this kind of price difference may be a disparity between the rich and the poor, and on the other hand, it is caused by insufficient customer awareness. Mature markets generally have a constant market capacity, such as the growth of the hearing aid market in Japan for many years.2%, individual years are negative growth. The sales of many hearing aids in China have shown a double-digit growth trend.

Compared with mature markets, the psychological pressure of the fitters in developing markets when talking about the price of hearing aids with customers is obviously greater. Such large price differences, let the fitter make customers in the process of debugging and performance display. It is very difficult to feel and recognize the benefits of the spread, which leads to the speech-based sales method in the domestic hearing aid sales process. The fitters who master customer psychology and communication skills can often sell higher-priced hearing aids. The fitter’s sales performance, which focuses on demonstrating the performance and differences of hearing aids, is often not the best. In addition, Japan also has a domestic box-type hearing aid, which is generally sold at5About 10,000 yen, RMB3000Yuan or so. But it is not the mainstream of the market, so we mainly discuss the price of mainstream digital behind-the-ear and custom-made hearing aids on the market. Please don’t confuse them.
