Questions about the cost of hearing aids are understandable. For many people, the process to select and purchase hearing aids is new. They don’t have a reference point for the experience.
Hearing aids are unique products that blend medical, wearable and smart technology. Considering their size, durability and processing power, they are tiny marvels that continue to push the boundaries.
Hearing aids are also prescribed and maintained in a unique way. When you get new devices from Professional Audiology in Edmonton, you get ongoing adjustments and service for the life of the devices.
At Professional Audiology, the cost also includes help from audiologists to ensure your hearing aids are operating as they are expected – for years after your purchase.
The cost of hearing aids is around $1,200 to $3,600 per device. The range of prices can be accounted by the range in technology among modern hearing aids.
Compared to many consumer products, the prices can seem expensive. Some factors that contribute to the costs of hearing aids include:
At Professional Audiology, this cost not only includes the hearing aid, but it also includes the professional programming, fitting and adjustments for years after your purchase. You don’t just get a product; you get a service.
