NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Somewhere between dropping five pounds and cooking more homemade meals, addressing hearing health was forgotten. But Audicus, a next-generation hearing aids company, will help people resolve to hear better this new year.

Hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition facing the aging population, though it is often unaddressed. Forty-eight million Americans have hearing loss, but only one in four has a hearing aid, mainly due to price. Hearing aids traditionally cost $7,000 per pair and aren't covered by insurance.

The new year presents the perfect opportunity for someone to take hearing health into their own hands and improve their work and social lives with the help of Audicus hearing aids.

Audicus offers affordable, high-tech hearing aids online, and has saved consumers more than $10 million since launching. Audicus keeps prices 70 percent lower than clinics by eliminating the "middleman," similar to online eyeglass and contact lens companies like Warby Parker and 1-800-Contacts.

"Hearing health is overlooked because hearing aids are traditionally so expensive," said Patrick Freuler, founder and CEO of Audicus. "Audicus offers hearing aids online at a fraction of the cost, which makes it easy for people to start hearing better in the new year."

Customers fax, email or upload their hearing test and Audicus recommends the best hearing aid. On-staff audiologists custom-program the hearing aids based on the test results and Audicus ships customers the hearing aids. Customers have 45 days to try the hearing aids, and can return for a full refund if not satisfied.

Affordable
Audicus digital hearing aids range from $599 - $699, which is less than half of the traditional cost of a hearing aid. The company cuts out overhead fees and middleman mark-ups to sell high quality hearing aids at a much more affordable price.

Customized
Audicus hearing aids are custom programmed to a person's hearing loss. Customers submit their personal hearing test and on-staff audiologists customize the hearing aids to it.

High-Tech
Audicus hearing aids boast the same technology as the leading hearing aids on the market and are manufactured by a top private manufacturer in Germany. They have advanced sound processing systems and one device has Bluetooth capability.

45-Day Risk Free Trial
Audicus offers a 45-day trial period to all customers. If the customer is not 100% happy, Audicus will refund them in full.

Audicus, an online hearing aid company, has disrupted the hearing aid industry by offering high-tech, affordable hearing aids at prices 70 percent lower than prices at a traditional clinic. The Audicus business model eliminates intermediaries and has enabled consumers to save more than $10 million on hearing aids since June 2012.
