What is the difference between a $1200 hearing aid and a $4000 hearing aid?
A. Price differences relate to features and capabilities, just as with luxury versus economy cars. Hearing aids today use digital technology. Their ability to assist hearing is very good at every price level. But some hearing situations are more challenging than others. Hearing aid manufacturers have developed more complex sound processing technologies to improve hearing effectiveness in these situations, for which they charge more money. The most expensive hearing aids are highly automated; switching sound processing modes automatically as the wearer moves through different sound situations.
