There are several factors to consider when deciding what hearing aids will be best for you. What kind of hearing loss do you have? What is your lifestyle? Any specific features you’re looking for in a hearing aid? And of course, what might be the most important question, how much do hearing aids cost?
According to national averages, hearing aids typically range from $1000 to $4000 per hearing aid. This range is so large because there are really two main factors that determine the cost of the hearing aids – how well the hearing aids will perform in different environments, and what services you will receive from your provider. A lower cost, entry-level option may be more suitable for a quieter lifestyle, but may not perform as well in group settings or noisy environments. Higher priced, premium level technology is better suited for those noisier settings. Services from your audiologist may also be included in the cost.
Your audiologist should review all of these options with you and help find the best fit for your lifestyle AND budget. At Gardner Audiology in South Pasadena, FL, we have multiple options available. Starting at a budget-friendly option – $490 per hearing aid – and ranging up to $3500 per hearing aid for premium-level technology, there are several options to think through. Whatever your needs may be, we have an option for you!
Recently, there has been a lot of buzz regarding over-the-counter (OTC) devices. OTC devices are supposed to improve access to hearing by providing lower cost options for people with a mild level of hearing loss. While this may be a great option for some, it may not be the best for others. Before purchasing an OTC hearing aid, it is worth consulting a Doctor of Audiology about your options. At the very least, having an accurate hearing test will help determine what your best options are.
