Update: Hearing aids are still expensive; however, what you pay is determined by the variety of hearing aid manufacturers your hearing healthcare provider supports as well as the severity of your hearing loss. Prices range from $250 to almost $7,000.
According to an April 2016 issue of the Hearing Review, a trade magazine, some hearing aid providers offer models at prices ranging from under $1,500 to under $500. This makes them competitive with Costco, which offers devices from the big manufacturers as well as its signature brand, Kirkland, in the same price range.
