How do I find the right hearing aid at the right price?

Many people who are looking for a suitable hearing aid ask themselves this question.

For those who only find themselves in very simple listening situations, such as one-on-one conversations in a quiet environment or in front of the television, a simple hearing aid from the ‘Essential’ level is sufficient.

When does it make sense to pay more?

Are you often out and about and around other people? For example, when eating in a restaurant? Then only better hearing aids from the Standard, Advanced, or Premium technology levels will help you hear everything better.

How much should a good hearing aid cost? The expert answers!

Peter Niessen
Chief Audiologist at hear.com

“Hearing aids are divided into basic, middle and high-end classes depending on the technology used. The better the technology, the more the hearing aids cost, but the better the sound quality and the support in everyday life.

The price starts from R20 200 for a pair and increases with a higher level of technology. Hearing aids in the high-end class can cost R80 000+. That may sound like a lot at first, but it is definitely justified by the additional performance!”

Niessen's simple calculation:

"With an average wearing time of 6 years, even the best hearing aids only cost R40 a day. The same price as a cup of coffee from your local cafe, but much more enjoyable every day!"
