Hearing aid - a scam?

Is this website genuine? https://easyhear-za.com

Hearing aids are a bargain and the claim is very bold. The contact page is simply - leave a message. No cellphone or address.

Scam, or at least cheap device rubbish via drop shipping.
We see so many similar sites and devices offered, which are sub-par and not actually what they claim to be.
Steer clear is my advice!
 
Red flags all over and a pretty low effort scam site.

Domain registered a few months ago but they helped thousands. The site is clearly copied off one from the Netherlands as some text hasn't been changed.
Most obvious part is you will be entering your credit card details on the site and not a payment gateway so its a CC detail phishing site.

Thanks. Yes, it is a low effort site - a sure sign of a scam
 
If you ever went through the process of getting proper hearing aids you will understand the cost.

Each ear is different and the expensive devices are individually programmed to address the specific issue. Be it loss of hearing of certain frequencies etc.

Chinamall hearing aids may amplify sound and that may work in some cases. In other cases it will make hearing worse

The expensive ones are wayyyyy overpriced though. That holds true

This is the problem. The hearing aid industry is milking it with mainly pensioners affected. Really not affordable for many and much trial and error. In the end you just live with the compromises (tuning does not appear to be the science claimed) and you wonder whether it was worth paying so much. So itself a scam. This is what others see as an opportunity to scam and offer unbelieavable prices. Prey on the vulnerable and the desperate.
