Are you struggling to find a clear answer to this question?
It is pretty common, especially since you can find hearing aids at just about every price point there is if you search long enough.
Hearing clinics typically guard their pricing because most people tend to price-shop items that require a significant investment, just like they do with homes and cars.
We’re not knocking that, because there is wisdom in trying to get the best value for the money you invest. However, the key to understanding the price of hearing aids is understanding their value, or what you are getting for your investment.
At Beltone, we do our best to provide you with the valuable services of hearing aids and hearing care at prices that are competitive in the marketplace.
Factors Involved in Pricing
What would happen if you called a car dealership and asked how much a car costs? Even cars of the same make and model can have different price points due to factors like different package options, buyer incentives, and dealer overhead costs.
Just like a high-tech European sports car differs in price from a subcompact for the morning school run, hearing aids have different prices as well. Different styles, technology levels, and added options are factors in their pricing as well.
Along with these factors associated with the cost of the hearing aid, there are also different levels of support available, ranging from purchasing a device online with no support all the way up to full-service audiological care.
All of these factors together add up to the value you receive for your investment.
Hearing Care vs. Hearing Aids
One of the biggest challenges in the hearing care industry is the misconception that the solution to hearing challenges is to simply put on a pair of hearing aids and go on about your business.
Without knowing the type and severity of your hearing loss using a hearing assessment, there is no way to match the right hearing aid solution to your hearing needs. In reality, hearing aids are nothing more than a tool used in the process of providing hearing care.
Even with that information, hearing aids require proper programming to target the specific hearing challenges of the wearer. This requires various adjustments to ensure that you’re getting all of the benefits your hearing aids can give.
Hearing care also involves educating you on how to operate and clean the device, troubleshooting, repair, and regular maintenance. It may also require additional services and accessories to achieve the best possible result.
This support adds to the price of your investment, but it also adds to the value of your investment. Consequently, the most important component is not the device, but the care and support that come with it.
