Audicus

Audicus is a disruptive e-commerce startup that offers high-tech, affordable hearing aids online. It's saved customers more than $10 million since June 2012. Hearing aids typically cost up to $7,000 per pair and aren't covered by insurance. By eliminating the middleman, Audicus is able to offer German-manufactured hearing aids at up to 80 percent lower prices. Each hearing aid is custom-programmed based on someone's hearing test, making the experience extremely personalized. Customer satisfaction rates are extremely high and Audicus return rates are half the industry average. Audicus is quickly growing and has been featured by the New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and on CNBC.
