Between $3,000 and $4,000 for two. This can vary a great deal, depending on where you get them.

Huh? Just Kidding!

I was at Costco and the smallest (hidden in the ear canal) hearing aid cost about $2,300 each. So the pair would run $4,600 + tax.

At an audiology office, a similar hearing aid cost $2,600 each but it was difficult to really compare those sold at Costco versus those sold at a smaller audiology office.

I’ve been trying to find comparisons and reviews to assess which model(s) to consider.

Good luck.

The cost varies and hearing aids are not usually covered by insurance but cochlear implants are because a cochlear implant is considered a prosthesis by private insurance companies, but hearing aids are not. Medicare doesn’t cover them either. They run from $1,000 - $5,000

The analog hearing aids are more affordable but may not work as well as the more expensive digital. Nonprofits and some service organizations (such as the Lions Clubs) help people, especially children, obtain hearing aids. There are also hearing aid banks for used hearing aids. But this may not appeal to you.

Here are link you should look at. The first is about the cost and the second is about assistance resources.
