The components are made all of the world, from Switzerland, Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, China, and the US, to name a few.

Most major manufacturers in the US put the products together here in the US, mostly in the Minneapolis, MN area. A few are also in Chicago and some in NJ.

many hearing aids are now made in china
specifically XIAMEN, resound, siemens and Phonak (i believe some production only) so you could technically say that @ least 25% aids are made in china.

Interesting point, new chinese companies lisound and some others are going to come out with very agressive pricing (less than 100 dollars digital aid - wholesale)
