How Much Do Hearing Aids Cost?

One of the most common questions that we get in our clinic is “How much do hearing aids cost?”

It’s an understandable concern; hearing aids are a hefty investment into not just your hearing health, but your holistic health. Hearing aids have been proven to help improve your balance, sharpen your memory, and even help you live longer.

You may be wondering why most clinics keep their cards close to their chests when it comes to pricing hearing aids, and there are two key reasons—but first, allow me to answer your question directly.

Hearing care plans (including hearing aids, maintenance care, repairs, reprogramming and troubleshooting, and more) can start at $2,500 and range up to $7,000 for more premium options.

Understanding why most clinics don’t always share their pricing plans will help you make the best, most informed choice for your hearing health.

#1—Price Depends on Preferences (and more)

Asking about the price of a hearing aid is kind of like asking how much a car is: A sports car will cost a different price than a pickup truck, so it depends on what the driver (or in our case, the wearer) is looking for.

Hearing care packages range from a very hands-on, guided experience to fairly independent and ad-hoc appointment based. It depends on your hearing loss, lifestyle, preferences, and whether or not this is your first pair of hearing aids.

This is why most clinics require an on-site hearing test to make sure they can provide the best possible recommendations for hearing care based on your results.

#2—Hearing Aids Are Just One Piece of the Puzzle

One of the biggest challenges that we face as an industry is that many people believe that hearing care starts and stops with hearing aids, when in reality, great technology is just one part of the process of achieving better hearing outcomes.

The more important part—and what many people don’t realize is as important as it is—is partnering with the right team of hearing care professionals.

Hearing aids themselves aren’t as expensive as many believe; when you go through a trained audiology clinic to get your devices, you’re also paying for many hours of expertise, guidance, and support from a team of experts who care about your hearing health.

Options online for over-the-counter hearing aids or devices from big-box stores can provide a quick fix, but without that professional in your corner, it’s like buying the materials to affix braces to your teeth and trying to do it yourself.

The risk of scouring the internet for prices of hearing aids is that you’ll get varied answers and stress about which is right—plus, your hearing health shouldn’t be put on the line while trying to save a few bucks.
