Hearing aid technology & costs

Hearing aids, like most medical devices, are an investment. The price of a hearing aid will vary depending on the specific style and high-tech features you choose.

Frequently asked questions

• Why do hearing aids cost so much?

  Just like many other medical devices, the proper selection and fitting of a hearing aid requires the skill of educated and trained healthcare professionals. You will want to seek the expertise of a hearing healthcare professional when considering hearing aids. Professional services associated with the selection, fitting, adjustments and overall maintenance of hearing aids are often included as part of the cost of the hearing aid. This makes it simple for you during the purchase process, but more difficult to be able to compare prices for similar hearing aids.

  Another factor involved in hearing aid prices is the level of technology. Similar to computers, televisions or cell phones, there is generally a “good-better-best” hierarchy. It’s a matter of understanding your hearing needs, the types of communication and activities you are involved in on a daily basis and weighing those against the hearing aid benefits and costs.

  Your hearing professional will work with you to align your lifestyle needs to your hearing aid features. If you lead an active work and social life, you may require and desire hearing aids with discreet, advanced, automated features. If you spend more of your time at home pursuing quiet activities, a less expensive level of technology with basic functionality may be right for you.

  Wherever you fall on the spectrum, hearing aids can help enhance your quality of life dramatically, bringing you back in touch with the people and activities you enjoy. In addition, studies show hearing aids can increase earning potential on the job. Whatever the situation, most people find it’s worth the investment to stay connected to human communication.
