Just like other medical devices and decisions, hearing aids are an investment in your overall health. As such, it’s critical to understand how they are priced, and how they will improve your everyday life.
Many factors that determine hearing aid prices, from the device quality to the professional care to the features that help your hearing aid easily fit into your lifestyle. While a lower-cost hearing solution may be appealing, it's important to balance the price vs. health benefits.
- Hearing aid choice and fitting.
Arguably, the most important component of your hearing aid purchase is the selection of the correct hearing device and the fitting of that device to your specific hearing needs. This experience is improved drastically when working with a professional and licensed hearing care professional, which you won’t receive with all hearing aid retailers. Although this service may seem to increase the already significant hearing aid cost, getting the most out of your hearing aids is worth this additional investment. This is because a hearing aid that isn't properly fitted to your ear or cared for long-term may not actually help with your hearing and could potentially negatively impact your hearing further.
- Lifetime aftercare*
Our hearing is always changing. It’s important to keep a close relationship with your hearing care professional so you can make necessary adjustments to your hearing aid and ensure it’s always meeting your changing needs. Many hearing aid providers, like Miracle-Ear, include lifetime aftercare in the original price of the hearing aids. Aftercare is essential to maintain the quality and fit of your device, ensuring you get the most out of every dollar you spend.

- Technology level
Another factor in hearing aid cost is the level of technology. As you might expect, the more advanced features included in your device, the higher the price tag will be. These features are what make your hearing aid a seamless part of your life and can vastly improve your hearing experience.
Many health insurance companies recognize that hearing is important to your overall health, and now provide hearing care benefits to their members. Hearing care benefits can cover up to 100% of the cost of hearing aids and services. Your employer benefit packages may also include an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account) that allow you to save up to $2,500 tax-free each year for healthcare costs such as hearing aids.
At Miracle-Ear, we accept most major insurance plans at many of our 1,500 locations. With so many plans and carriers, we recommend calling the location near you to verify your coverage and get answers for any questions you may have.
If we do not accept your insurance, not to worry, we will never let you go without the care that you may need.
It’s important that together we find the right hearing solution for your specific needs. We offer hearing aids for every budget, and financing options are available at many of our locations. Certain credit companies also specialize in healthcare financing. Ask if your hearing care professional accepts or can recommend credit options like CareCredit or Wells Fargo Health Advantage.
In addition, the Miracle-Ear Foundation® is designed to support underserved Americans with a limited income and no other resources for hearing aids, such as insurance, Medicaid, VA, or other state or federal programs. Learn if you’re eligible for the Miracle-Ear Foundation.
Out of 48 million Americans experiencing some degree of hearing loss, nearly 75% put off getting help. At Miracle-Ear, we believe in making hearing care affordable and accessible even if you don't have hearing aid insurance. That’s why we offer hearing solutions to fit every budget.
