Do you prefer to work with an OEM or ODM for your hearing aid? What are their pros and cons?
That is particularly important if, as the hearing aid inc, you want to develop a hearing aid that is different from what is already on the market. The advice is especially suitable for medical devices.
First of all, what do those acronyms mean?
. Original hearing aids design manufacturer: the supplier provides the design and already has the tooling if any necessary to manufacture that design. This is still an exception in China.
.Original equipment manufacturer for a new model of hearing aid: the customer asks the supplier to develop a new product based on the customer’s design.
.Contract manufacturer: similar to OEM, but the ENNO hearing aid is typically open to manufacturing a wider range of hearing aids.
There is a special case. Let’s say the hearing aid customer selects existing hearing aids (already made in the past by ENNO hearing aid) and requests only minor modifications (for example, a different color and a change in one of the minor components). Is it OEM or ODM?
The rule of thumb is, that it is ODM if the factory can use its own tooling; otherwise, it is OEM.
Selecting an ODM manufacturer is rather straightforward. You simply need to look for suppliers that have already made hearing aids that you can buy and sell on your market.
In most cases, the buyer will request changes. There is often a MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) constraint based on the cost of processing those changes, and that MOQ can generally be negotiated.
