Above is from The Audio Quarter

A small street in Shenzhen, China

Where 98% of all hearing aids are produced

Usually for around £100

And sold to the public for £1-2K

Every year during peak sales periods

They over produce brand-name hearing aids

Like Oticon Micro Sound 2, Resound Nexia and Phonak Audeo

And thousands of unsold base units

Are left without buyers

So a small family-owned Newcastle company

Called Aurora LTD

Buys the unsold and unbranded base units

For under £100 a piece

Like the ones below
