FAQs about hearing aid prices
-
As mentioned above, hearing aid prices in the UK range widely in price, due to differences in models, styles and performance. Since the type of hearing aid you’ll need will depend on the severity of your hearing loss, having your hearing tested by one of our professionals is an important first step. They’ll then walk you through all the available pricing options and payment plans.
-
The two main reasons for hearing aid prices being so high are: continuous monetary investment by hearing aid industries in improving hearing aid technology and the bundled pricing model, which includes both the services of a highly trained hearing care expert and the price of the hearing aid.
In the same way that we pay a higher price for the technology provided in computers, tablets, and mobile phones, we can expect to pay for the advanced technology in hearing aids.
The advanced technology used in hearing aids is developed through continuous research. The hearing aid industry spends hundreds of millions of pounds every year to develop the technology for these devices.
This means that today’s technology is more advanced than ever. The costs of these advancements is reflected in the price.
Additionally, hearing aids are part of a bundled price. As mentioned above, the cost of hearing aids includes not only the cost of the hearing aids themselves, but it also includes the services provided by your hearing care expert. You’ll also have access to a range of free aftercare services.

1. Your level of social engagement. If you go to a lot of social events, you’ll want to consider a mid-level or premium hearing aid. These hearing aids can provide a sound experience that caters to your active lifestyle. Premium hearing aids typically offer higher levels of noise reduction and improved speech understanding.
If your lifestyle involves a lower level of social engagement, and you engage in much quieter activities such as one-on-one conversations or walks in the park, then a basic, lower price range hearing aid might be enough to suit your specific hearing needs.
2. Technology level. If you want to be able to access advanced technology features such as Bluetooth® connectivity, automatic sound adjustment, and rechargeability, you’ll want to consider investing in a mid-level or premium hearing aid. But if you’re not interested in technological features, then basic, lower-priced hearing aids may be enough to suit your needs.
-
Many people have hearing loss in both ears, not just one, so they’ll need to have a hearing aid for each ear. Depending on your hearing loss, a hearing care expert may recommend getting a hearing aid for both ears even if the hearing loss is severe in one ear and mild in the other. The reason for this is that it helps your brain to interpret and locate sound in a balanced fashion when both ears are aided.
Other benefits of wearing two hearing aids are that they:
- Provide equal levels of auditory stimulation in both ears, keeping your brain’s listening power in shape.
- Can transfer information back and forth from one another – rather than having one hearing aid working independently to interpret sound.
- Can be set at a lower volume – when the brain is receiving signals from two hearing aids, soft tones will automatically sound louder.
