Increasingly, e-commerce is changing the way we shop for goods and services. Health and beauty products, toys, clothing, automobiles and even hearing aids are now routinely purchased over the internet. As with these other items, there are several advantages to be found in buying hearing devices online.

Take Your Time

Anyone who has ever been subjected to high-pressure sales techniques knows how annoying and stressful they can be. Believe it or not, even hearing aid providers have been known to employ these tactics. When you look on the internet for your devices, you can do so day or night on your own schedule with no worries about being bullied by aggressive sellers. If a site looks suspicious or is difficult to navigate, simply close your browser or click onto another.

Research Your Options

At your own pace, you can also compare styles and prices of the many hearing aid choices that are available to you. Without any pressure or rush, you can take notes, jotting down questions and observations that you can then bring up with the online vendor’s customer service representative. Even though you are doing most of the shopping with your laptop or desktop PC or Mac, you can still get personalized service and have all of your questions answered by reputable hearing aid sellers.

Take Advantage of Convenience

Probably the primary reason for the success of e-commerce is its convenience. When you purchase a hearing device from a reputable company such as Listen Lively, your experience will be virtually hassle-free. After taking a free online hearing test, a hearing professional will recommend the customized hearing aid that is just right for you. In a matter of days, it will be delivered to your door. Best of all, any tweaks or adjustments in the device’s performance can be made remotely via the accompanying app.

Diverse Options

In addition to convenience, purchasing your hearing aids online provides you with access to a wide selection of device colors, patterns and shapes. As a result, you will not need to make a trip to a hearing center with a particular style in mind only to find that it is currently not in stock.

Safety and Security

For many consumers in the market for a hearing aid, traveling is a complicated and expensive undertaking. By contrast, you can purchase your hearing aids and all of the accessories you need safely and … Read the rest

If you were to answer the question of which generation loves wine the most purely based on stereotypes, you might guess that it is our nation’s elders who are popping the cork with greatest frequency. After all, they have the financial resources to afford excellent vintages, and they tend to be more cognizant of wine’s health benefits. Nice try, but you’re wrong.

MILLENNIALS WIN THE DAY

The Wine Market Council reports that millennials were drinking a surprisingly high 42 percent of all the wine consumed in the United States in 2015, a full 13 percentage points above levels from the previous year. That comes to 159.6 million cases. As it turns out, millennials are drinking more per sitting as well, coming in at over three glasses as opposed to just under two for baby boomers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TASTE

Millennials are also embracing a wide variety of wine types that include Moscato, Malbec, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. By contrast, older drinkers who did not grow up with the diverse range of choices that are now available today tend to be more staid and rigid in their white and red wine selections. Finally, the dawn of subscription box and other internet services, like wineonsale.com, has made it possible for people to purchase white and red wine online, leading to even more options. Since younger consumers have been faster to embrace this technology, they are the first to benefit from it.

JUMPING ON THE TREND

The psychological makeup of younger people is also part of the reason for the upsurge of wine’s popularity. Open to new tastes and wine-making regions, millennials and Gen Yers are not constrained by preconceptions or stigmas and are willing to give virtually any wine a try. Aided by social media, they readily share their new discoveries, and that takes the trend to another level. In many respects, this is why drinking wine has “gone viral” among our nation’s youngest drinkers.

PREPARING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

In fact, all indications point toward Gen X as the nation’s most adventurous wine-lovers. These young enthusiasts are already more willing to pony up $70 for a bottle of wine. As their financial resources grow and they gain career and stability, wine of all types is sure to take a prominent place in their social lives as well as their budgets. The internet, with its convenience, diverse selection, low-cost shipping … Read the rest
