Hearing aid performance
The technology inside the hearing aid is what makes the difference. The more advanced and sophisticated the technology, the richer and more rewarding your hearing experience will be but it comes at a higher price.
Which Performance Level is Right for You
Hearing aid manufacturers generally have three-to-four performance levels across their range of hearing aid models.
The performance level chosen will depend on your hearing loss, your listening needs, your lifestyle and most importantly your budget.
- Entry level, $995 – $1200 per aid
- Basic level, $1500 – $2000 per aid
- Mid Level, $2000 – $3000 per aid
- Top Level, $3000 – $4400 per aid
