HOW MUCH WILL A HEARING AID COST, INCLUDING EXAM, FITTING AND FOLLOW UPS?
The hearing professional begins by putting together a case history, examining the ear, ear canal and eardrum, and performing a hearing evaluation. If you have a medical problem or have been referred by a physician for the hearing test, those procedures usually are covered by Insurance. We prefer to perform our own hearing tests. However, if you bring a previously conducted hearing evaluation, we will review it and discuss it with you at no charge. That consultation includes an explanation of the test as well as the pros and cons of various styles of amplification. There is no obligation to buy a hearing aid. lf you decide you want to try a hearing aid, the cost varies with technology and style. There are four basic types of hearing aids all-in-the-ear, behind-the-ear, in-the-canal and completely-in-the-canal. These represent the different sizes of hearing aids. The most basic hearing aid, either in-the-ear or behind-the-ear, can start as low as $400 and typically range from $700 to $90
