Pricing
Understanding Hearing Aid Prices
Hearing aid prices depend on a couple different factors.
Hearing aids can vary widely in price – you can buy a hearing aid for $200 or for $2000. So what’s the difference? The $200 hearing aid you might see advertised in magazine is built with old technology and is just an amplifier – it makes everything louder, the conversation you want to hear, and the background noise that makes the conversation hard to hear.
The $2000 hearing aid is a miniature computer that actively monitors the sound around you, filters out the background noise, and amplifies and clarifies the conversation you are in or the music you are listening to.
Good hearing aids are highly sophisticated devices that are a marvel of electronic miniaturization. Each device includes one or more tiny microphones, amplifier, and speaker, with logic circuits that handle things like noise cancellation and directional logic, to enable you to hear more clearly. The newest devices allow you to connect directly with your smart phone, TV, computer, or audio system, so the sound comes right into your ear.
The cost or your hearing aids also includes follow-up visits, adjustments, and cleanings over the life of your device.
Technology And Cost
The basic variable in hearing aid cost is the level of technology in a device, which correlates to the amount of hearing loss it needs to correct. The greater the hearing loss, the higher the level of technology required, and the higher the cost. Cost is also affected by:
Physical design - the smaller the device, the higher the cost
Number of features - from a basic set to functions like noise reduction and Bluetooth support
Accessories – like remote controls, apps, Bluetooth connectors, computer streamers
To advance the technology and provide better and better devices, hearing aid manufacturers constantly invest in research and development, which is factored into the cost of today’s hearing aids. Investments in hearing aid development totals hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
While the initial cost of a hearing aid may seem high, the daily cost to have good hearing is around $2.00 per day, about what you pay for cable, since devices last 5 years or longer.
