The amount you should spend on hearing aids depends on many factors.
1. Need - We have to meet the requirements of your hearing loss. I prefer to fit an instrument with enough power capacity that we'll have flexibility to service your need over a several year time span.
2. Life Style - If you enjoy socializing, dining out, playing cards, golf, walking, fishing, or biking, their are features that help with those various listening environments. If basic one on one conversation and television are your primary concerns, some of the technological advances are less important for you.
3. Dexterity - Your sense of touch and vision will play a roll in selecting the right model for you. For example, if your not able to handle the batteries then you may need to consider a rechargeable model.
4. Budget - No one wants to over spend for hearing aids. That's why we strive to provide the most features for whatever technology level fits your budget. Hearing aids range in price from $2,000 to $8,000 a set (2 aids). When you see ads for cheap hearing aids it's typically a ploy to peak your interest. Don't short change yourself. Get the best you can within your budget.
5. Style - Style is much less of an issue as most hearing aids are small and shaped in a way that hides well either in or behind your ear.
After a complete evaluation I'll explain the various levels of technology and help you make the best decision for your needs.
