You may be wondering if you can afford them.  Do you know how much should you pay for hearing aids?  What are the benefits or risks, for example, if you put off getting them altogether.

This article will show you how you can buy affordable hearing aids for a fraction of the cost of expensive hearing aids sold by audiologists.

 

What Should you pay for Hearing Aids?

If you have been looking to buy hearing aids, you may have discovered there are many places to buy hearing aids.

The most popular locations to  buy hearing aids are a hearing aid center, a department store with an in-house hearing aid center, big box store like Costso, and from an online hearing aids supplier.

If you are a military veteran, contact your local VA office.  In many cases you may be able to get hearing aids for no cost.

Consumer Reports wrote  in their Hearing Aid Buyer’s Guidethat new hearing aids from leading manufacturers sold through audiologists can cost between $1000 and $6,000.

Depending on the sophistication of the analog  or digital hearing aids, this may be the price for the pair or for each hearing aid.

For people who are on fixed income, this can make hearing aids cost prohibitive.   If they  not reimbursable through private health insurance or Medicare, this can prevent people from achieving  optimal hearing.

In many cases, for example, the hearing test will be covered by insurance. Several places offer free hearing tests for seniors. Unfortunately, this can still force many older adult to endure worsening hearing loss until their hearing loss becomes dangerous or life threatening.

 

Here is an example of what you can expect to pay for new hearing aids from an audiologist:

Rexton Finesse 2c

Rexton Hearing Aids cost between $1,499 and $2,499 per ear.
