Frequently asked questions
Why are hearing aids so expensive?
Costs cover research, miniaturization, professional fitting, and ongoing adjustments. Bundled services often include follow-ups.
Are there cheaper alternatives?
Over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids start around $200, but they may not suit severe loss. Also check Costco and online retailers.
Does insurance cover hearing aids?
Medicare doesn't cover devices, but some Medicare Advantage plans and private insurance partially cover. Veterans may get them free.
