Hearing Aid Prices One of the first questions potential hearing aid owners want to know when they call our company is: How much does a hearing aids cost? What are your hearing aid prices compared to the big brand names? Do your features match up to competitors? Although this is a very difficult question to answer in general manner - blanket answer, I will try to do my best here to share some of the hearing aid pricing and features I collected from some of the online sellers. Note: Local audiologist do not publish hearing aid prices.
The purchase of a hearing aid is much like the purchase of a vehicle or even a home. With so many options available, price ranges can vary drastically. Just as a Ford F150 can start around 20k with just a basic package, it can quickly cost over 40k once a shopper adds such items as power windows, CD player, all-leather interior, chrome finishes, extended cab, 4-wheel drive, 4 doors versus two, upgraded wheels, dual exhaust, spray-on bedliner, built-in GPS system, etc, etc.
Considering that the average American buys or sells their vehicle every three to five years, why do so many people elect to purchase hearings with lots of features? The answer is because most people understand the importance of getting what they want the first time so as to not have any regrets down the road. Because most Americans spend over 30 minutes a day in their vehicles, most hearing aid users wear their hearing aids 8 to 10 hours a day. Just as they want to make sure their vehicle will provide them with comfort, quality, longevity, and ease of use. These same principles typically apply to most hearing aids
Understanding that they are going to put their hearing aid on everyday for as long as they probably live, as well as the fact that picking the right hearing aid with the right options the first time is critical as to ensure maximum experience with minimum maintenance, most shoppers elect to get the hearing aid that will make them happiest in the long-run. Unfortunately, some people only focus on the initial price of the hearing aid with the only goal of finding the "cheapest" hearing aid or seller, therefore sacrificing low-maintenance, quality, warranty, and aesthetics, which inevitably leads to regret, especially considering that unlike a vehicle, a hearing aid cannot be traded in after the 30 or 60 day Money Back Guarantee if one is dissatisfied and disenchanted.
Below I am going to list some of the prices found from various hearing aid manufacturers - these are the lowest price models - and then comparing them to Century Hearing Aids hearing aid prices
